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 />
<strong>Boker</strong> laser engraving in the blade<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 />
strikingly shimmering shells of<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 />

1 BOKER CAMELLIA OIL<br />
This high quality, pure camellia oil is<br />
made according to a traditional Chinese<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 />
blade not only bears a historical<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 />
crowned handle made of black<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 />
the blade is hardened and thus<br />
characterizes each of our Solingen<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 />
for the handle, which was refined<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 />

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.

2 BOKER PREMIUM BLACK<br />
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 />
1⅝“ x 4⅛“. Weight: 4.1 oz.<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 />

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 />
