Dear <strong>Boker</strong> customers,<br />

Behind us lie long months full of<br />

uncertainty, for which no living<br />

generation with comparable experience<br />

has been prepared. At times,<br />

many things were simply impossible,<br />

and even a simple visit to the<br />

barber became a wistful memory<br />

from the „good old days“ long gone.<br />

And even if the pandemic has<br />

still not been completely defeated,<br />

a normal life is at least conceivable<br />

again today. The coffee, the<br />

cigar and the discussion in the<br />

favorite barbershop around the<br />

corner is slowly possible again.<br />

Gentlemen who value a wellgroomed<br />

appearance no longer<br />

have to venture out in public with<br />

mop hairdos or adventurously<br />

self-trimmed hair and beards.<br />

In the meantime, at <strong>Boker</strong> Manufactory,<br />

we have not been idle in<br />

designing new razor models for<br />

this historic reboot. Especially the<br />

barber, who could not practice his<br />

traditional profession for a long<br />

time, we wanted to pay special<br />

tribute. And what could be more<br />

obvious than to reissue our historic<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Barber‘s Choice? As a<br />

classic, universal 5/8 inch razor with<br />

plastic handle and Spanish head,<br />

it was developed in the pre-war<br />

period for commercial barbering.<br />

The <strong>Boker</strong> Bicycle Race is also<br />

a model steeped in history that<br />

has been reissued by us and is<br />

equipped as an authentic 5/8 inch<br />

straight razor with black plastic<br />

handles. The large-scale depictive<br />

engraving is reminiscent of the<br />

heroes of the first road bike races<br />

in the style of the Tour de France,<br />

when these still equaled real<br />

adventures and the brave riders<br />

were more or less on their own.<br />

As a special star guest, we were<br />

able to get Angel Delgadillo from<br />

Seligman in Arizona to do a barber<br />

story for this issue. At 95 years<br />

old, Angel is not only probably the<br />

world‘s longest-serving barber, he<br />

is also a living legend known far<br />

beyond state lines as the „Angel<br />

of Route 66.“ With the recognition<br />

as a „State Historic Route“<br />

he achieved a central goal in life<br />

and thus saved the most famous<br />

road in America from drifting into<br />

insignificance. His bulky 7/8-inch<br />

razor is naturally equipped with<br />

a hilt made of desert ironwood,<br />

which, as wood from the Arizona<br />

desert, is a perfect match for Angel<br />

and the unprecedented trunk road.<br />

Thanks to its high density, it also<br />

resists long use in water and soap.<br />

Also sailing under the American<br />

flag, so to speak, is Ulrich<br />

Junga, the Historical Barber from<br />

the western town of Pullman<br />

City in the Harz Mountains.<br />

Here he runs a barbershop that<br />

can be described as both a men‘s<br />

barber store and a museum. He<br />

works completely without electric<br />

tools. His Historical Barber razor<br />

is based on the <strong>Boker</strong> models of<br />

the American pioneer era. With a<br />

width of 6/8 inches, a hilt made of<br />

artificial ivory that was also used<br />

back then, engraved ornaments in<br />

the handle, a blade back ground<br />

with scoops and a barber‘s notch,<br />

it evokes the atmosphere of the<br />

dusty boomtowns of the Wild West.<br />

And finally, as in every issue, we<br />

present a candy peppered with<br />

superlatives. In this case, it‘s the<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Black Amboina - a straight<br />

razor of improbable elegance and<br />

charisma. The blade is provided<br />

with a bluing and is thus reliably<br />

protected against corrosion.<br />

The handle made of noble<br />

Ambonia wood is stabilized and<br />

dyed black, creating an inimitable<br />

depth effect. The black<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Tree emblem rounds off<br />

the harmonious overall picture.<br />

CONSTRUCTION AND MANUFACTURING<br />

Despite all industrial progress since<br />

the foundation of the <strong>Boker</strong> Manufactory<br />

in 1869, some historic production<br />

methods are still used for making<br />

a <strong>Boker</strong> straight razor. We definitely<br />

preserved the passion, experience<br />

and perfection in choosing<br />

our materials and executing each of<br />

the production steps we would like<br />

to explain to you here.<br />

In the grinding shop, the extra hollow<br />

grind with belly is created. The slugs<br />

are ground in 18 individual steps,<br />

from rough grinding, to milling, to<br />

glazing.<br />

The scales department manually<br />

assembles nickel silver pins,<br />

washers, and spacers to the blades.<br />

At the forge, the basic material is a<br />

round rod cut to length to create the<br />

so-called cropped piece. The splitter<br />

is heated until red hot, and drop<br />

forged with a 1,500 lb rammer. Next,<br />

the slugs have to cool to 392° F for<br />

two days in an annealing furnace.<br />

The slugs are once again straightened<br />

in a 200-ton press, before<br />

going to the hardening shop. By<br />

thermic treatment the perfect combination<br />

of edge-holding property and<br />

flexibility of the steel is created.<br />

We exclusively grind our straight<br />

razor blades extra hollow with belly.<br />

The belly lies in front of the strong<br />

hollow section and just behind the<br />

edge, which has a small hollow grind<br />

itself. The belly is the only way in<br />

which the blades can be ground<br />

out so thin and still retain sufficient<br />

stiffness, despite their flexibility.<br />

There are only a handful of the best<br />

and most specialized grinders in the<br />

world that have mastered this ultimate<br />

skill in straight razor production.<br />

Wood and stag require special dexterity,<br />

as these natural materials can<br />

tear when too much pressure is<br />

applied.<br />

Finally, the blade is honed by hand<br />

on several bench whetstones with<br />

increasingly finer grits. After the<br />

final stropping, the sharpness of the<br />

straight razor is tested on a freely<br />

suspended human hair.<br />

BOKER DAMASCUS-STRAIGHT RAZORS 8/8<br />

The widths of razor blades are traditionally<br />

given in eighths of an inch.<br />

So an 8/8“ blade is about one inch<br />

wide and a 4/8“ blade is half an inch.<br />

DIFFERENT BLADE WIDTHS<br />

(ORIGINAL SIZES)<br />

8/8“ BLADE<br />

4/8“ BLADE<br />

The basic shapes of the dies in which<br />

our razors are still forged today were<br />

already made at the beginning of<br />

the 20th century. This explains why<br />

they do not correspond to the Anglo<br />

-Saxon unit of inch (25.4 mm), but to<br />

the long forgotten „Rhineland inch“<br />

(26.2 mm).<br />

The 5/8“ wide blade is probably<br />

the most common and widely used<br />

razor shape. Narrower razors with a<br />

maximum width of 4/8“ are mainly<br />

used by hairdressers for shaving<br />

the neck or for thinning, because<br />

the smaller blades make it easier<br />

to work on precise inner radii and<br />

contours.<br />

A wide blade, on the other hand,<br />

glides more smoothly over the skin<br />

thanks to its weight and can also<br />

hold more soap and beard hairs<br />

before you have to wipe them off.<br />

Quite apart from the functional differences,<br />

the rare broad blades immediately<br />

make the eyes of every razor<br />

enthusiast shine.<br />

At this point we therefore recommend<br />

to all better halves of the<br />

above mentioned enthusiasts: Better<br />

get your loved one‘s wallet to safety<br />

as soon as possible!

DAMASCUS<br />

A long-cherished wish has finally<br />

come true with the <strong>Boker</strong> Master<br />

Cutter Damascus: an 8/8 inch wide<br />

dream made of damascus. Even<br />

though a lot of time has passed until<br />

the forging of the first blank, the<br />

efforts have been worthwhile. The<br />

mighty blade with serration on both<br />

sides is equipped with a Barber‘s<br />

Notch and is of course sharpened<br />

extra hollow with ridge on complex<br />

tone. The bulbous handle made of<br />

desert ironwood is, unlike all the<br />

other razors in our range, not classically<br />

riveted, but rather screwed<br />

together decoratively. Desert ironwood<br />

is relatively heavy, very hard<br />

and extremely tenacious. Because<br />

of these characteristics it is difficult<br />

to work with, but at the same time<br />

it is also particularly durable and<br />

weatherproof, which makes it an<br />

ideal material for razor handles.<br />

To match the Barber‘s Notch of<br />

the blade, the handle has a recess<br />

towards the tip of the blade. This<br />

allows a clear view of the decorative<br />

intermediate piece, which is also<br />

made of damascus in this extraordinary<br />

model.<br />

DAMASCUS-STRAIGHT RAZOR 6/8<br />

The Damascus straight razors are<br />

an absolute highlight in the more<br />

than 100-year history of worldwide<br />

renown collection of high<br />

quality straight razors by <strong>Boker</strong>.<br />

The special exclusivity comes<br />

from using powder metallurgical,<br />

stainless Damascus steel from<br />

Sweden. In a very technically<br />

demanding and complex process,<br />

160 layers of Damascus steel are<br />

produced in a sintering process to<br />

create the perfect starting material<br />

for the fine hand-sharpening of<br />

the blades. The traditional extrahollow<br />

grind and the exceptionally<br />

fine edge harmonizes the beautiful,<br />

extraordinarily fine grain of<br />

the natural Damascus pattern.<br />

The 5/8” wide blade has a<br />

two-sided serration for a safe<br />

grip. <strong>Boker</strong> Damascus straight<br />

razors are completely handmade<br />

in the <strong>Boker</strong> knife manufactory in<br />

Solingen, in a 150-step process.<br />

All razors come complete with<br />

a certificate of authenticity in a<br />

refined presentation display, serial<br />

numbered.<br />

1 BOKER DAMASCUS EBONY<br />

The dark colour and fine grain of<br />

the precious wood emphasise the<br />

elegance and noble appearance<br />

of this unique piece of craftsmanship.<br />

The valuable, certified<br />

impor ted ebony is very robust<br />

thanks to its high density and has<br />

a high resistance to ageing, which<br />

makes it a preferred choice not<br />

only for decorative applications.<br />

As an additional decoration, the<br />

historical <strong>Boker</strong> tree emblem is<br />

expertly inserted into the handle, a<br />

craftsmanship that is rarely found<br />

nowadays. The tang is provided<br />

with a serration on both sides.<br />

2 BOKER DAMASCUS BURL BIRCH<br />

The handles of the noble <strong>Boker</strong><br />

Damascus Burl Birch are made<br />

from the wood of the burl birch,<br />

which is native to the far north of<br />

Europe. The already special grain of<br />

this wood, which due to its special<br />

characteristics is often used for<br />

extraordinary models, is further<br />

exposed by the stabilisation and<br />

by the complete colouring. The<br />

modern handle shape fits perfectly<br />

to the 6/8 inch wide blade made of<br />

Damascus steel with French head<br />

and is completed by the fine <strong>Boker</strong><br />

tree emblem, which is inserted into<br />

the handle by hand. With authentic<br />

passage, certificate of authenticity<br />

and noble floating display.<br />

3 BOKER DAMASCUS HORN<br />

Hand-picked horn handles and a<br />

noble 6/8 inch blade made of<br />

stainless damascus make the<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Damascus Horn a unique<br />

one-of-a-kind.<br />

The absolutely high-quality<br />

appearance of the horn handle is<br />

further emphasised by the use of<br />

a third rivet.<br />

Due to its distinctive front cutting<br />

end, the Spanish head is particularly<br />

suitable for particularly<br />

precise shaving and the exact<br />

processing of the beard contour.<br />

DAMASCUS-STRAIGHT RAZOR 5/8<br />

Even though damascus steels<br />

have long since ceased to be<br />

the preserve of an elite minority,<br />

damascus straight razors remain<br />

an absolute rarity. With conventional<br />

damascus steels, the extremely<br />

thin blade grinding with<br />

wall is a great challenge, as the<br />

material tends to show nicks and<br />

chipping in the area of the cutting<br />

edge if the layers are not in the<br />

right position. For this reason,<br />

we only use powder-metallurgically<br />

produced stainless Damascus<br />

steels from Sweden for the<br />

high-quality Damascus razors in<br />

our range. In a technically very<br />

demanding and complex process,<br />

160 layers of Damascus steel are<br />

produced in a sintering process to<br />

create a perfect starting material<br />

for the fine hand sharpening of<br />

the blades. The traditional extrahollow<br />

cut makes the fine edge<br />

sound and brings out the beautiful<br />

and exceptionally fine grain of the<br />

natural damascus pattern to its<br />

full potential.<br />

The 5/8 inch wide blade has a<br />

double-sided serration of the tang<br />

for a secure grip. The historical<br />

blade stamp is carefully laser<br />

engraved into the fine damascus<br />

structure. The <strong>Boker</strong> Damascus<br />

razors are completely handmade<br />

in 150 steps at the <strong>Boker</strong> knife<br />

manufactory in Solingen. They<br />

are delivered with certificate in<br />

a presentation display and with<br />

individual serial number.<br />

1 BOKER DAMASCUS GOLD HORN<br />

The combination of hand-selected<br />

horn handles and a completely<br />

gold-plated 5/8 inch blade made<br />

of stainless damascus makes this<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> razor a unique one-off. The<br />

high quality appearance of the horn<br />

handle is also underlined by the<br />

use of a third rivet. The Damascus<br />

blade is additionally decorated by<br />

the Spanish head. The Spanish head<br />

is particularly suitable for particularly<br />

precise shaving and the exact<br />

processing of the beard contour due<br />

to its distinctive front cutting end.<br />

wide blade made of Damasteel is<br />

serrated on both sides and, thanks<br />

to the French head, blends harmoniously<br />

into the Paua handle. The<br />

2 BOKER DAMASCUS PAUA


The shave-and-shoot-out scene in<br />

the Barber Shop belongs in the<br />

classic Western movie like revolvers,<br />

whiskey, Winchester and dynamite.<br />

Pullman City Harz - the Western<br />

town reconstructed in a historically<br />

correct and elaborate manner on<br />

200,000m2 and filled with pulsating<br />

life - naturally also has such a<br />

Barber Shop. Its worthy master and<br />

owner is Historical Barber Ulrich<br />

Junga, the only authentic Western<br />

barber this side of the big pond.<br />

He knows the shaving products<br />

of that time and their no longer<br />

existing producers and wholesalers<br />

as well as the techniques of<br />

their application like no other.<br />

<strong>Boker</strong>: Ulrich. How did you get into<br />

historical barbering?<br />

Ulrich: It all started as a salesman<br />

at medieval fairs. During breaks in<br />

tournaments, I could attract customers<br />

to the booth by shaving myself.<br />

That made an impression. Immediately,<br />

visitors and other merchants<br />

wanted to be barbered. So there was<br />

a demand. I checked legally whether<br />

it was possible and started doing it at<br />

the next market.<br />

<strong>Boker</strong>: Now you have a barbershop<br />

in a western town. What makes it<br />

different from barbering at the historic<br />

markets?<br />

Ulrich: Essentially, it‘s the clothing.<br />

The commonality is that I work<br />

completely historically. That means<br />

I don‘t use any machine-powered or<br />

electric clippers. I use straight razors<br />

and hand clippers. That‘s it.<br />

<strong>Boker</strong>: What is special about your<br />

barbershop?<br />

Ulrich: My barbershop is both a<br />

barbershop in function and a barber<br />

museum. Some historical parts are<br />

pure exhibits, with others I still work.<br />

For example, I have the two oldest<br />

hydraulic barber chairs in Germany in<br />

use. They are still made of wood and<br />

I restored them myself. One is from<br />

1898, the other from 1900, both from


BÖKER MANUFAKTUR SOLINGEN<br />

BARBER STORY: THE HISTORICAL BARBER<br />

the Koken company in St. Louis. And<br />

it wasn‘t until 1895 that chairs of this<br />

type even existed.<br />

<strong>Boker</strong>: What is important about<br />

working with and on customers?<br />

Ulrich: The only principle is that there<br />

are no rules. You have to adjust to each<br />

customer individually. Some customers<br />

fall asleep on my chair because<br />

the shave is so relaxing. Others don‘t<br />

feel like it at first and are put on my<br />

chair by their partners. I have to calm<br />

them down first. In addition, I have<br />

regular customers who hand in their ID<br />

cards at the cash register and do not<br />

pay admission to the park if they take<br />

the direct route to me and back to the<br />

exit. A woman and her daughter once<br />

started crying in my store because the<br />

scent of a soap reminded them of their<br />

late husband and father.<br />

<strong>Boker</strong>: What is important about using<br />

a straight razor?<br />

Ulrich: Again, everyone needs the<br />

straight razor that fits them. Someone<br />

with large hands will need a larger<br />

razor with a stronger tang. Personally,<br />

I get along well with 5/8 and 6/8.<br />

<strong>Boker</strong>: Please tell us about the Straight<br />

Razor you designed.<br />

Ulrich: It was important to me, of<br />

course, that the knife be historically<br />

accurate. The knife corresponds to<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> models around the turn of<br />

the 19th century. Artificial ivory is<br />

also already attested for this time<br />

by preserved catalogs. The Barber‘s<br />

Notch, which was common at that<br />

time, could not be missing for me in<br />

any case.<br />

<strong>Boker</strong>: Can you solve the riddle for<br />

our readers, what the Barber‘s Notch<br />

was actually intended for?<br />

Ulrich: I don‘t know which of the relevant<br />

theories is the only true one. But<br />

from professional experience I can say<br />

that the blade is easier and safer to<br />

open with soapy fingers. It also makes<br />

working on the upper lip around the<br />

nostrils much easier.<br />

<strong>Boker</strong>: Thank you and we wish you<br />

friendly and satisfied customers and a<br />

safe hand all the time.<br />

recipe, and has many uses. The<br />

thin oil is extracted from the seed of<br />

the camellia tree, is taste neutral,<br />

odorless, and does not dry. The camellia<br />

oil is food safe and impresses<br />

with its special purity.<br />

Corrosion protection:<br />

The acid - free, non- resinous, and<br />

non-evaporating camellia oil is traditionally<br />

used to protect from corrosion<br />

in the care of high quality knife<br />

blades made from carbon steel, as<br />

well as tools and weapons. It is purely<br />

organic and perfect for preser-<br />

ving non-stainless kitchen knives<br />

and straight razors as – in contrast<br />

to other care oils – does not form an<br />

emulsion with water.<br />

Wood protection:<br />

The low-viscosity oil quickly absorbs<br />

into the wood and protects from<br />

moisture, dirt, and UV radiation.<br />

Camellia oil is clear, does not discolor<br />

the wood, and brings out the grain<br />

beautifully. Outstanding for the care<br />

of high quality straight razor handles<br />

and kitchen knife handles made from<br />

fine woods. Content 100 ml.<br />

2 BOKER 14ER<br />

While forged razors and the<br />

classic wet shave are experiencing<br />

a renaissance, genuine broadswords<br />

are still rare. For the first<br />

time in decades, perhaps even<br />

centuries, 8/8 inch wide razors are<br />

back in our range. In times when<br />

the mighty blades were even more<br />

common, 8/8 inch wide razors<br />

with straight heads were called<br />

14s. This marking was stamped<br />

into the tang of the blade before<br />

the forged blades were hardened.<br />

We did not miss this special<br />

feature and also implemented it in<br />

our Böker 14. The 8/8 inch wide<br />

BOKER BLACK AMBOINA<br />

1 BOKER BLACK AMBOINA<br />

Style is less a question of<br />

elegance than of character.<br />

The <strong>Boker</strong> Black Amboina<br />

proves to perfection that these<br />

characteristics can be combined<br />

excellently. The expressive 6/8<br />

inch Straight Razor is completely<br />

black and for the first time<br />

features a burnished blade made<br />

of high-strength carbon steel.<br />

In this special process, the surface<br />

of the blade is transformed into a<br />

black oxide layer through treatment<br />

with acid, which is why<br />

it is not possible to speak of<br />

a coating in the classic sense.<br />

The extra-high ground blade is<br />

serrated on both sides and thus<br />

underlines the exclusive character<br />

of the <strong>Boker</strong> Black Amboina. Due<br />

to the balanced weight of the<br />

knife, the blade glides extremely<br />

pleasantly and cleanly over the skin.<br />

The hilt made of exotic Amboina<br />

wood impresses with its strikingly<br />

scattered grain, which<br />

in parts is reminiscent of wild<br />

carbon fiber. The wood, which<br />

originates from Southeast Asia,<br />

owes this special structure to<br />

its tuber-like intergrowths in the<br />

area of the roots, which gives<br />

each knife its unique character.<br />

The distinctive black and the<br />

pleasantly smooth surface of the<br />

handle are achieved by stabilizing<br />

the wood. In this special process,<br />

heated epoxy resin is pressed into<br />

the wood pores and then cured.<br />

The bulbous shape of the hilt<br />

forms a successful contrast to the<br />

straight head of the blade, expressively<br />

emphasizing the lines of<br />

the Straight Razor. Discreet visual<br />

accents in the hilt are found as<br />

eye-catchers in the two nickel<br />

silver rivets and the silver<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> tree shield. Comes with<br />

an authentic <strong>Boker</strong> stamp in the<br />

blade barrel, certificate of authenticity<br />

and elegant suspended<br />

display. Handcrafted in the <strong>Boker</strong><br />

1 BOKER BICYCLE RACE<br />

Even before the Tour de France<br />

could establish itself as the most<br />

important bicycle race in the world,<br />

the former heroes on two wheels<br />

tormented themselves over rough<br />

cobblestones, dusty gravel roads<br />

and sometimes short and poisonous<br />

climbs. Steel frame, cotton<br />

jersey, casquette, only one gear but<br />

a heroic mustache were the usual<br />

equipment with which it went on<br />

the relentless 250 km of the classic<br />

one-day races.<br />

This nostalgic magic gave rise to the<br />

five monuments of cycling, which<br />

continue to thrill numerous cycling<br />

fans to this day. The first of these<br />

traditional one-day classics originated<br />

in Belgium and France before<br />

1900 and brought glory and honor<br />

to the winners. <strong>Boker</strong> brings back<br />

a piece of history and presents the<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Bicycle Race as a new edition<br />

of the eponymous Straight Razor,<br />

which appeared around 1900.<br />

The blade of the special model,<br />

which is limited to 300 pieces worldwide,<br />

shows a classic bicycle race in<br />

a picturesque landscape according<br />

to historical models. The elaborately<br />

restored motif, laser-etched in<br />

several layers, fills almost the entire<br />

blade, while the historic H. <strong>Boker</strong><br />

& Co logo adorns the blade‘s edge.<br />

The 5/8-inch wide blade is made of<br />

durable carbon steel and features a<br />

degree head, representing the versatility,<br />

sturdiness and straightness of<br />

those classic bicycles that had to be<br />

ready for all terrains with a set set of<br />

features - so the <strong>Boker</strong> Bicycle Race<br />

is in no way inferior to that when it<br />

comes to shaving.<br />

The classy satin finish and single-edge<br />

serrations round out the<br />

Straight Razor‘s heroic profile. The<br />

plastic was refined with two rivets<br />

made of nickel silver. Comes with<br />

2 BOKER BARBER´S CHOICE<br />

The reissue of the historic <strong>Boker</strong><br />

Barber‘s Choice has been a matter<br />

of the heart for us. In the pre-war<br />

era, the classic Straight Razor<br />

was considered the first choice<br />

for barbers who wanted to use<br />

one knife for all occasions, thus<br />

providing the best possible flexibility<br />

for shaving. Consequently, the<br />

Straight Razor uses a 5/8 inch wide<br />

blade with a Spanish head so that<br />

fine contours can be shaved out.<br />

The Barber‘s Choice lettering adorns<br />

the front of the blade, based on a<br />

historical model, and is rounded out<br />

by the classic H.<strong>Boker</strong> & Co logo on<br />

the blade edge. Only on the basis<br />

of a historical original knife could a<br />

complex restoration of the lettering<br />

take place, which then found its final<br />

and detailed implementation in a<br />

multi-layer laser process.<br />

The satin-finished blade is made<br />

of resistant carbon steel and is<br />

characterized by a high edge<br />

retention.<br />

The black handle is made of<br />

indestructible plastic and is therefore<br />

very easy to clean, not only for<br />

barbers. The two nickel silver rivets<br />

decorate the handle in a harmonious<br />

way.<br />

COUNT OF BERG<br />

Not far from the company headquarters<br />

of the <strong>Boker</strong> Manufactory<br />

in Solingen, we find the hallmark<br />

of the Bergisches Land region, the<br />

castle Burg an der Wupper. It is<br />

also one of the largest castles in<br />

western Germany, and the largest<br />

reconstructed castle in the state<br />

of North Rhine-Westphalia.<br />

The famous history of Castle<br />

Burg is inseparably linked to the<br />

Duchy Berg and the Count of<br />

Berg (Haus Berg, 1068-1225). On<br />

this occasion we decided to dedicate<br />

a series of straight razors to<br />

the three counts of Berg, which<br />

symbolizes parts of their lives.<br />

This tribute is reminiscent of the<br />

remarkable property and influence<br />

of the counts with impressive<br />

adornments made from 24-karat<br />

gold.<br />

Adolf II, Count of Berg, built<br />

the new castle (”Novus Mons,“<br />

today known as Castle Burg) at<br />

the Wupper, erected on top of<br />

a preceding for tress from the<br />

10th century. The influence and<br />

wealth of Count Adolf II of Berg<br />

in the Rheinland-Westfalen region<br />

was tremendous. In those days,<br />

it was commonplace to split the<br />

inheritance among the six sons<br />

of Adolf. However, this represented<br />

a problem for the house<br />

of Berg, since this division would<br />

reduce the value and cost the<br />

Berg dynasty its influence.<br />

Since his eldest son (also Adolf)<br />

had already died in 1148 at Damascus<br />

during the Second Crusade,<br />

his sons Friedrich and Bruno<br />

entered into the clergy, and his<br />

youngest son Adolf was excluded<br />

from the inheritance due to his<br />

young age. In 1160, the Bergish<br />

realm was split between Adolf’s<br />

sons Everhard and Engelbert.<br />

EVERHARD, COUNT OF THE MARK<br />

Everhard, older than Engelbert,<br />

received the Westphal ian possessions<br />

with the castles Altena and Hovel,<br />

and the abbeys Werden, Essen, and<br />

Cappenberg. This shows that for Adolf<br />

II, the Rhine-Franconia possessions<br />

were likely of lower value compared<br />

to the Westphalian. Everhard founded<br />

the Altenaer line - his descendants<br />

later called themselves Counts of the<br />

Mark.<br />

ADOLF III, COUNT OF BERG<br />

Engelbert I of Berg received the Rhine-<br />

Franconia inheritance and continued<br />

the name Berg in his family. The<br />

center of his domain was the castle<br />

Burg an der Wupper, which was built<br />

by his father (Adolf II). Engelber t I died<br />

in 1189 during the Third Crusade.<br />

His oldest son, Adolf III, succeeded<br />

him as Count of Berg. His reign fell<br />

on a period of warring conflicts, which<br />

led to his participation in the Crusades.<br />

Adolf went to the Holy Land during the<br />

Fifth Crusade in 1218, and died from an<br />

epidemic on August 7 of that year, as<br />

Commander of the Rhine and Friesian<br />

siege troops at Damiette in the Nile<br />

Delta. He had no son, therefore the<br />

Altena-Berg branch ceased.<br />

ENGELBERT II, COUNT OF BERG<br />

After the death of Adolf III, the House<br />

of Limburg, into which Adolf ‚s<br />

daughter Irmgard had married, staked<br />

its claim to the entire Bergish estate.<br />

While the daughter of Adolf III was<br />

entitled to an inheritance even in that<br />

time, Engelbert II, the brother of Adolf<br />

III, claimed the inheritance for himself.<br />

The resulting dispute was not settled<br />

in a legal process, but by violence over<br />

the course of two feuds. Engelbert<br />

rejected the Limburg claim through<br />

the force of arms and took over the<br />

rule of the County Berg as Engelbert<br />

II. Engelbert II, Count of Berg, later<br />

called ”The Holy,” was also known as<br />

Engelbert I, Archbishop of Cologne.<br />

With his murder in 1225, the Bergish<br />

counts in this line came to an end, as<br />

the male line of the Bergish counts<br />

ended with the death of Engelbert<br />

II. As a result, Berg went to House<br />

Limburg, which was thus finally able<br />

to assert its inheritance claim.

BOKER ABALONE & PAUA<br />

In addition to classic materials that<br />

have characterized the popular<br />

models of the <strong>Boker</strong> Straight Razor<br />

assortment for many decades, we<br />

are continuously on the lookout<br />

for modern and innovative natural<br />

material combinations that create<br />

excitement due to their special<br />

look or feel.<br />

White gold or sea snails are just<br />

two synonyms for abalone. The<br />

mollusks, which are found off the<br />

coasts of Australia, New Zealand,<br />

Japan, China, Mexico and South<br />

Africa a few meters below the<br />

water surface, are considered a<br />

delicacy and, because of their<br />

desirability, have triggered entire<br />

gang wars in the past.<br />

Today, the precious natural product<br />

is bred in aquaculture farms.<br />

The beautiful and almost artificially<br />

shimmering shells of these<br />

popular mollusks have been used<br />

since time immemorial as decorative<br />

objects, utilitarian items or as<br />

raw material for jewelry, inlays or<br />

mother-of-pearl clasps.<br />

Paua are also shellfish from<br />

the genus abalone, but unlike<br />

abalones they are only found in<br />

the unspoiled coastal waters of<br />

New Zealand. They have served<br />

the Maori for many centuries as<br />

traditional body ornaments and<br />

are still used today as decorations<br />

for figurines, weapons and<br />

meeting houses.<br />

The impressive grip scales are<br />

absolutely unique in color and<br />

pattern and are the first to<br />

characterize the <strong>Boker</strong> Straight<br />

Razor range.<br />

Using the most modern manufacturing<br />

processes, an extremely<br />

thin layer of colorful abalone or<br />

paua is applied to a carrier material<br />

and encapsulated in transparent<br />

acrylic.<br />

The highly resistant material thus<br />

obtained is ideally suited for the<br />

production of the Straight Razor<br />

booklets and inspires with an<br />

extraordinary play of colors and a<br />

three-dimensional look.<br />

All Straight Razors of this series<br />

are equipped with a double-sided<br />

serration and are of course sanded<br />

extra-high with Wall (sound). The<br />

authentic <strong>Boker</strong> stamp in the<br />

blade is already stamped before<br />

BARBER STORY: ANGEL DELGADILLO<br />

With Angel Delgadillo we can probably<br />

present a barber story with the longest<br />

serving active barber in the world. Angel<br />

looks back on a long eventful life in<br />

his profession. But that‘s not even what<br />

he‘s most known for.<br />

Angel is the central figure and a celebrity<br />

in the fight to preserve historic Route<br />

66 - the old artery that connected U.S.<br />

states in the East to the West Coast.<br />

This mother of all American roads, whose<br />

route goes back to the settler era and<br />

which today is still the ultimate dream<br />

not only of every Harley rider.<br />

Born in 1927 in Seligman / Arizona, Angel<br />

had still experienced the passage of<br />

hundreds of thousands of farm workers<br />

who, fleeing the „Great Depression“<br />

as a result of several years of drought,<br />

moved from Oklahoma and Texas to the<br />

plantations in California. John Steinbeck<br />

had set a literary monument to these<br />

people in his 1939 novel, Grapes of<br />

Wrath.<br />

By 1978, old Route 66 had initially become<br />

meaningless with the opening of<br />

Interstate Highway 40. Places like Seligman<br />

were cut off from tourism and commercial<br />

traffic virtually overnight and<br />

threatened to become almost completely<br />

deserted. But Angel and his comrades-in-arms<br />

refused to accept this. They<br />

fought resolutely for nine long years until<br />

Route 66 was finally recognized as a<br />

„State Historic Route“ in 1987.<br />

From his wealth of experience, there is<br />

one message above all that Angel wants<br />

to pass on to younger generations: „It<br />

wasn‘t politicians who did it for us.<br />

It was us: the people. If you want to<br />

do something, don‘t ask your neighbor<br />

what he thinks about it first. Just do it.“<br />

His commitment to Route 66 has earned<br />

him the John Steinbeck Award, among<br />

other honors. Because of his expertise,<br />

he was also called upon as a consultant<br />

for the 2006 Pixar animated film Cars.<br />

But Angel is not just a living legend.<br />

He‘s two living legends. In 2015, he was<br />

inducted into the <strong>Barbers</strong> Hall of Fame.<br />

He‘s had four generations of Seligman<br />

families in his chair. With what his customers<br />

have told him while barbering, he<br />

could put 50% of Seligman residents<br />

in jail he says, laughing. But there‘s no<br />

danger in that. „Love, tenderness and<br />

care“ is his motto in life, or put another<br />

way, and also catchy, „Life is about giving,<br />

not taking.“ Nothing fulfills him<br />

more than a customer who leaves his<br />

chair satisfied. And that is a happiness<br />

for both sides.<br />

As a tribute to the „Guardian Angel“<br />

of Route 66, <strong>Boker</strong> presents the<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Angel Delgadillo, strictly<br />

limited to 99 pieces. The Straight<br />

Razor impresses with its 7/8 inch<br />

wide carbon steel blade with an extra<br />

the inlaid „Angel‘s Barber Shop“<br />

lettering was lasered onto the back<br />

of the blade, while the serrations on<br />

both sides of the blade and the noble<br />

satin finish round off the look of the<br />

round-headed blade perfectly.<br />

Only desert ironwood was considered<br />

BOKER BARBERETTE<br />

The <strong>Boker</strong> Barberette stylishly<br />

unifies the benefits of a forged<br />

straight razor with those of a safety<br />

razor. The handling is comparable<br />

to that of a straight razor, but there<br />

is no need to clean and strop it,<br />

since the replaceable razors can<br />

simply be changed.<br />

The newly designed <strong>Boker</strong> interchangeable<br />

blade straight razor is<br />

not only very popular among wet<br />

shaving fans, travelers, and professional<br />

barbers and hair dressers,<br />

but can also be found in bathrooms<br />

at home as a low maintenance and<br />

comfortable, versatile companion.<br />

Especially barbers like to use the<br />

uncomplicated replaceable blades<br />

in hectic business operations due<br />

to hygiene regulations, rather than<br />

disinfecting straight razors the<br />

traditional way.<br />

The <strong>Boker</strong> interchangeable<br />

blade straight razor has the<br />

same geometry and size of our<br />

forged straight razors. Thanks to<br />

the grooved synthetic surface, it<br />

provides a safe grip for fingers<br />

at all times. The blade receptacle<br />

is made from stainless steel and<br />

moisture resistant synthetic and<br />

is designed to allow the use of<br />

both the ubiquitous 43mm standard<br />

blades for classic safety razors<br />

(double edge) and the 65mm long<br />

standard blades.<br />

Before inserting, double edge razor<br />

blades are carefully broken in the<br />

middle. The handles follow that<br />

of forged straight razors made by<br />

the <strong>Boker</strong> manufactory, and leave<br />

nothing to be desired. Delivered in<br />

a historical packaging including one<br />

double edged razor blade.<br />

1 BOKER BARBERETTE BLACK<br />

AND RED<br />

The unusual handle made of<br />

carbon fibre with red liners, in<br />

combination with the black coated<br />

blade holder, brings racing flair to<br />

the bathroom at home. But don‘t<br />

worry, shaving with the <strong>Boker</strong><br />

Barbarette Black & Red doesn‘t<br />

take a hundredth of a second, even<br />

if it effortlessly masters even the<br />

most difficult (facial) passages as<br />

if it were actually an F1 bolide. To<br />

avoid bloody tracks on the race<br />

track, you can choose between<br />

43 mm and 65 mm long Double<br />

Edge standard blades according<br />

to your preferences. Supplied in<br />

historical packaging with a double<br />

edge blade.<br />

Along with the established <strong>Boker</strong><br />

Barberettes with a plastic blade<br />

receptacle that we already offer,<br />

many barbers have been asking for<br />

a straight razor knife with a stainless<br />

steel receptacle. The receptacle<br />

of the <strong>Boker</strong> Pro Barberettes is<br />

designed to accommodate a half<br />

Double Edge (43 mm standard<br />

blade) and hold it securely between<br />

the two stainless steel parts.<br />

This system has been used by<br />

professional barbers and hairdressers<br />

for many years before we optimized it.<br />

The geometry and size of the<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Pro Barberette follows that<br />

of the premium-quality forged<br />

straight razors made by the <strong>Boker</strong><br />

Manufactory Solingen. The bottom<br />

of the tang has a fine serration,<br />

offering a secure grip even when wet.<br />

In order to improve opening the<br />

two blade halves, the round point is<br />

tapered inward on both sides. When<br />

the clamp is removed, the two halves<br />

can be easily pushed against each<br />

other by means of the round point.<br />

Precise riveting and superior<br />

craftsmanship ensure precise<br />

function and a long life even with<br />

heavy use.<br />

The <strong>Boker</strong> Pro Barberette combines<br />

professional functionality, a familiar<br />

grip and balance and the authentic<br />

aesthetics of a classic straight razor.<br />

If you are just starting out, it is an<br />

alternative to a forged straight razor at<br />

a lower price point. Before inserting,<br />

the double blades need to be carefully<br />

broken in half. Comes with historic<br />

packaging and a doubleedged blade.

Connoisseurs regard the silvertipped<br />

badger brush as the<br />

highwater mark - only the best,<br />

carefully selected badger bristles<br />

are used for these fully hand made<br />

shaving brushes. The precious<br />

natural materials are particularly<br />

soft and flexible. The conically<br />

tapered shaft of the individual<br />

bristle permits particularly large<br />

amounts of shaving cream to be<br />

absorbed and fed to the tips. Yet<br />

another hallmark of quality is the<br />

so-called „mirror“ - a black belt<br />

that runs through the predominantly<br />

silver sheen of the bristle.<br />

The handle is made from handsome<br />

Grenadill wood. Its impressive<br />

density and hardness make<br />

this material a natural choice for<br />

a wet shaving accessory. Dimensions:<br />

BOKER MANICURE-SETS<br />

Until recently, the wide world<br />

of nail care was new territory<br />

for many men who didn‘t take it<br />

seriously at all. However, since<br />

women have come to appreciate<br />

not just biceps and six-pack abs<br />

but also carefully groomed nails, it<br />

is no wonder that modern men are<br />

coming around to making grooming<br />

a priority.<br />

More and more barber shops are<br />

offering nail care, because wellgroomed<br />

nails speak of a healthy<br />

self-confidence. Just like a classic<br />

wet shave, a proper manicure<br />

depends on high-quality tools.<br />

The exclusive Manicure Sets by<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Arbolito meet the quality<br />

standard, offering the right tools<br />

for shortening and shaping fingernails,<br />

for removing excess cuticles,<br />

cleaning under the nail<br />

and polishing. The kit is made<br />

from fine cowhide, keeping the<br />

premium tools safe and protected<br />

even for frequent travelers. All<br />

manicure tools are made from<br />

stainless steel with an elegant<br />

1 ROSTRADIERER SUPER ERASER<br />

The versatile <strong>Boker</strong> Super Eraser is perfect<br />

for grinding, scrubbing, smoothing, cleaning,<br />

and polishing metal surfaces. Especially<br />

with blades made of carbon steel,<br />

the typical dark spots as well as rust can<br />

appear after some time. This is absolutely<br />

normal and does not represent a defect,<br />

but it may disturb the optical appearance<br />

of the knife. To give the blades a new<br />

shine again, regular care with the <strong>Boker</strong><br />

Super Eraser is therefore recommended.<br />

Thanks to the 240 grit, the universal abrasive<br />

cleaner is perfect for grinding, scrubbing,<br />

smoothing, cleaning and polishing<br />

metal surfaces. Made in Germany.<br />

Measurement: 80 x 50 x 20 mm.<br />
