BOKER DAMASCUS STRAIGHT RAZOR 8/8<br />
The forge and hardening shop for our<br />
carbon steel straight razors uses the<br />
proven silver steel, which is very tough<br />
and elastic, despite its excellent edge<br />
retention. The raw material is a rod<br />
which is cut to length, creating the so<br />
called splitter. The splitter is heated until<br />
red hot, and drop forged with a 1,500<br />
lb rammer. Next, the slugs have to cool<br />
to 392°F for two days in an annealing<br />
furnace.<br />
Then the excess material created during<br />
the forging process, the "wings," are<br />
trimmed. The slugs are once again<br />
straightened in a 200-ton press, before<br />
going to the hardening shop. In the<br />
hardening shop, the slugs are hardened<br />
and annealed in order to achieve the<br />
optimal combination of edge retention<br />
and elasticity for the material. In the<br />
grinding shop, the extra hollow grind with<br />
belly is created. The slugs are ground in<br />
18 individual steps, from rough grinding,<br />
to milling, to glazing. Between each<br />
step, the blades are cleaned, controlled,<br />
and straightened when necessary.<br />
We exclusively grind our straight razor<br />
blades extra hollow with belly. The belly<br />
lies in front of the strong hollow section<br />
and just behind the edge, which has<br />
a small hollow grind itself. The belly<br />
is the only way in which the blades<br />
can be ground out so thin and still<br />
retain sufficient stiffness, despite their<br />
elasticity. There are only a handful of<br />
the best and most specialized grinders<br />
in the world that have mastered this<br />
ultimate skill in straight razor production.<br />
Depending on the model, the last step<br />
is the matting or polishing of the blade.<br />
Finally, the blade is honed by hand<br />
on several bench whetstones with<br />
increasingly finer grits. After the final<br />
stropping, the sharpness of the straight<br />
razor is tested on a freely suspended<br />
human hair.<br />
The scales department manually affixes<br />
nickel silver pins, washers, and spacers<br />
to the blades. Wood and stag require<br />
special dexterity, as these natural<br />
materials can tear when too much<br />
pressure is applied.<br />
The widths of razor blades are<br />
traditionally given in eighths of an<br />
inch. So an 8/8“ blade is about one<br />
inch wide, whereas a 4/8“ blade<br />
is half an inch. The basic shapes<br />
of the dies in which our razors<br />
are still forged today were already<br />
in use at the start of the 20th<br />
DIFFERENT BLADE WIDTHS<br />
(ACTUAL SIZES)<br />

4/8“ BLADE<br />
century, which explains why they<br />
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 size. 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 it becomes necessary to<br />
wipe them off. Quite apart from<br />
the functional differences, the rare<br />
broad blades immediately catch the<br />
eye of any razor enthusiast. At this<br />
point we therefore recommend to all<br />
better halves of the aforementioned<br />
enthusiasts:<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. While<br />
much time has passed since the<br />
first blank was forged, the efforts<br />
have been worthwhile. The mighty<br />
blade features jimping on both sides<br />
of the spine, is equipped with a<br />
Barber's Notch and is of course<br />
sharpened extra hollow with ridge on<br />
complex tone. The bulbous handle<br />
made of desert ironwood is, unlike<br />
all the other razors in our range,<br />
not classically riveted, but rather<br />
decoratively screwed together.<br />
Desert ironwood is relatively heavy,<br />
very hard and extremely tenacious.<br />
Because of these characteristics it is<br />
difficult to work with, but at the same<br />
time it is also particularly durable and<br />
weatherproof, which makes it an ideal<br />
material for razor handles. To match<br />
the Barber's Notch of the blade, the<br />

BOKER DAMASCUS STRAIGHT RAZORS 6/8<br />
The Damascus straight razors are<br />
an absolute highlight in the more<br />
than 100-year history of high quality<br />
straight razors by <strong>Boker</strong>. The special<br />
exclusivity comes from using<br />
powder metallurgical, stainless<br />
Damascus steel from Sweden. In<br />
a very technically demanding and<br />
complex process, 160 layers of<br />
Damascus steel are produced in<br />
a sintering process to create the<br />
perfect starting material for the fine<br />
hand sharpening of the blades. The<br />
traditional extra hollow grind and the<br />
exceptionally fine edge harmonizes<br />
the beautiful, extraordinarily fine<br />
grain of the natural Damascus<br />
pattern. The 5/8” wide blade has<br />
a two-sided jimping 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 />

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 special grain of this<br />
wood, which due to its unique<br />
characteristics is often used for<br />
extraordinary models, is further<br />
exposed by the stabilization and<br />

SHAVING WITH A FORGED BLADE<br />
BOKER 14ER<br />
I. PREPARATION OF SKIN AND<br />
BEARD HAIR<br />
Before shaving, skin and beard hair<br />
must be prepared carefully. This<br />
saves both the skin and the blade at<br />
the same time. For this purpose, it is<br />
best to shave right after a hot shower<br />
or apply a hot, wet towel to one's<br />
face for several minutes. Then splash<br />
the skin with warm water.<br />
1 BOKER 14ER<br />
While forged razors and the classic<br />
wet shave are experiencing a<br />
renaissance, genuine broadsword<br />
razors are still rare. For the first<br />
time in generations, 8/8 inch wide<br />
razors are back in our range. In<br />
times when the mighty blades<br />
were even more common, 8/8 inch<br />
wide razors with straight heads<br />
were called "14s". This marking was<br />
stamped into the tang of the blade<br />
before the forged blades were<br />
hardened. Careful not to leave out<br />
this signature feature, we have<br />
implemented it in our <strong>Boker</strong> 14.<br />
The 8/8 inch wide blade not only<br />
bears a historical blade etching<br />
with partial gilding, but also a<br />
gilded blade spine and tang, which<br />
is elegantly decorated by a filigree<br />
and detailed laser engraving. The<br />
complete polishing of the blade<br />
and the jimping on both sides of<br />
the tang round off the features<br />
of this knife. We have also used<br />
historical models as a basis for the<br />
material used for the handle. Made<br />
of dark, slightly transparent acrylic,<br />
it blends harmoniously into the<br />
overall look due to the subtle brass<br />
inlay. With authentic <strong>Boker</strong> stamp<br />
in the blade passage, certificate of<br />
authenticity and attractive floating<br />
display.<br />
ITEM NO. 140800 $ 529.00<br />
If desired, the skin can also be treated<br />
with shaving oil before the water.<br />
Next, apply the thickly beaten foam<br />
with the brush. The soap should be<br />
left on for at least 2 minutes.<br />
II. PREPARING THE RAZOR<br />
While the shaving soap softens the<br />
beard, there is enough time to strop<br />
the straight razor, as described in the<br />
chapter "Care & Stropping" (see page<br />
32), on a suspended or mounted<br />
strop.<br />
III. SHAVING WITH THE GRAIN<br />
It may be necessary now to re-apply<br />
soap with the wet brush. The foam<br />
has to be kept wet for the duration<br />
of the entire shave. The handle of the<br />
razor is folded back so that the blade<br />
is exposed and forms roughly a right<br />
angle with the handle. The handle<br />
is wedged between middle and ring<br />
finger and points away from the back<br />
of the hand. Now push the blade over<br />
the skin along the grain – the direction<br />
in which the beard grows – with<br />
gentle pressure. The angle should lie<br />
between 20° and 45°, the exact value<br />
depends on feeling and experience.<br />
Beginners should first shave the<br />
“easy” parts, like cheeks, and shave<br />
the rest of their face with the shaving<br />
method they have used up to now.<br />
With more practice and skill, they can<br />
slowly expand the shave to the other<br />
areas of the face.<br />
CAUTION: The elbow stands wide<br />
apart and not in the center of your own<br />
attention. If you bump into something<br />
with the elbow you will often get a<br />
painful cut.<br />
IV. SHAVING AGAINST THE GRAIN<br />
After shaving with the grain, you<br />
can change the shaving direction to<br />
against the grain for a deeper and<br />
more thorough shave if desired,<br />
and if your skin can handle it. To<br />
do so, wet the skin again and apply<br />
soap.<br />
V. AFTER CARE OF SKIN AND<br />
RAZOR<br />
After the shave, first rinse skin with<br />
cold, clear water. This closes the<br />
pores of the skin and any small<br />
cuts. The razor is dried and oiled as<br />
described in the chapter “Care &<br />
Stropping” (see page 32). Depending<br />
on your preference, you can apply an<br />
aftershave or facial lotion.<br />

BOKER BLACK AMBOINA<br />
1 BOKER BLACK AMBOINA<br />
Style is less a question of elegance<br />
than of character. The <strong>Boker</strong> Black<br />
Amboina proves to perfection that<br />
these characteristics can be combined<br />
flawlessly. This expressive 6/8 inch<br />
straight razor is completely black and for<br />
the first time features a burnished blade<br />
made of high strength carbon steel.<br />
In this special process, the surface of<br />
the blade is transformed into a black<br />
oxide layer through treatment with<br />
acid, which is why it is not possible to<br />
speak of a coating in the classic sense.<br />
The extra high ground blade is serrated<br />
on both sides and thus underlines<br />
the exclusive character of the <strong>Boker</strong><br />
Black Amboina. Due to the balanced<br />
weight, 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 in parts is<br />
reminiscent of wild carbon fiber.<br />
The wood, which originates from<br />
Southeast Asia, owes this special<br />
structure to its tuber-like inner<br />
growths in the area of the roots, which<br />
gives each piece 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 forms<br />
a successful contrast to the straight<br />
head of the blade, expressively<br />
emphasizing the lines of the Straight<br />
Razor. Discreet visual accents in<br />
the hilt are found as eye-catchers<br />
in the two nickel silver rivets and<br />
the silver <strong>Boker</strong> tree shield. Comes<br />
with an authentic <strong>Boker</strong> stamp<br />
in the blade barrel, certificate of<br />
authenticity and elegant suspended<br />
display. Handcrafted in the <strong>Boker</strong><br />
knife manufactory in Solingen.<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,<br />
the castle Burg an der Wupper. It<br />
is also one of the largest castles in<br />
western Germany, and the largest<br />
reconstructed castle in North<br />
Rhine-Westphalia. The famous<br />
history of Castle Burg is inseparably<br />
linked to the Duchy Berg<br />
and the Count of Berg (Haus Berg,<br />
1068-1225). On this occasion we<br />
decided to dedicate a series of<br />
straight razors to the three counts<br />
of Berg, which symbolizes parts<br />
of their lives. This tribute is reminiscent<br />
of the remarkable property<br />
and influence of the counts<br />
with impressive adornments made<br />
from 24-karat gold.<br />
Adolf II, Count of Berg, built<br />
the new castle ("Novus Mons,"<br />
today known as Castle Burg)<br />
at the Wupper, erected on top<br />
of a preceding fortress from<br />
the 10th century. The influence<br />
and wealth of Count Adolf II of<br />
Berg in the Rheinland-Westfalen<br />
region was tremendous. In those<br />
days, it was commonplace to<br />
split the inheritance among the<br />
six sons of Adolf. However, this<br />
represented a problem for the<br />
house of Berg, since this division<br />
would reduce the value and cost<br />
the Berg dynasty its influence.<br />
Since his eldest son (also Adolf)<br />
had already died in 1148 at<br />
Damascus during the Second<br />
Crusade, his sons Friedrich and<br />
Bruno entered into the clergy,<br />
and his youngest son Adolf was<br />
excluded from the inheritance<br />
due to his young age. Thus, in<br />
1160, the Bergish realm was split<br />
between Adolf's sons Everhard<br />
and Engelbert.<br />
EVERHARD, COUNT OF THE MARK<br />
Everhard, older than Engelbert,<br />
received the Westphalian<br />
possessions with the castles<br />
Altena and Hövel, and the abbeys<br />
Werden, Essen, and Cappenberg.<br />
This shows that for Adolf II,<br />
the Rhine-Franconia possessions<br />
were likely of lower value<br />
compared to the Westphalian.<br />
Everhard founded the Altenaer<br />
line - his descendants later called<br />
themselves Counts of the Mark.<br />
ADOLF III, COUNT OF BERG<br />
Engelbert I of Berg received<br />
the Rhine-Franconia inheritance<br />
and continued the name Berg<br />
in his family. The center of his<br />
domain was the castle Burg an<br />
der Wupper, which was built by<br />
his father (Adolf II). Engelbert<br />
I died in 1189 during the Third<br />
Crusade. His oldest son, Adolf<br />
III, succeeded him as Count of<br />
Berg. His reign fell on a period<br />
of warring conflicts, which led to<br />
his participation in the Crusades.<br />
Adolf went to the Holy Land<br />
during the Fifth Crusade in<br />
1218, and died from an epidemic<br />
on August 7 of that year, as<br />
Commander of the Rhine and<br />
Friesian siege troops at Damiette<br />
in the Nile Delta. He had no son,<br />
therefore the Altena-Berg branch<br />
ceased.<br />
ENGELBERT II, COUNT OF BERG<br />
After the death of Adolf III, the<br />
House of Limburg, into which<br />
Adolf's daughter Irmgard had<br />
married, staked its claim to the<br />
entire Bergish estate. While<br />
the daughter of Adolf III was<br />
entitled to an inheritance even<br />
in that time, Engelbert II, the<br />
brother of Adolf III, claimed<br />
the inheritance for himself.<br />
The resulting dispute was not<br />
settled in a legal process, but<br />
by violence over the course of<br />
two feuds. Engelbert rejected<br />
the Limburg claim through the<br />
force of arms and took over<br />
the rule of the County Berg as<br />
Engelbert II. Engelbert II, Count<br />
of Berg, later called "The Holy,"<br />
was also known as Engelbert<br />
I, Archbishop of Cologne. With<br />
his murder in 1225, the Bergish<br />
counts in this line came to an<br />
end, as the male line of the<br />
Bergish counts ended with the<br />
death of Engelbert II. As a result,<br />
Berg went to House Limburg,<br />
which was thus finally able to<br />
assert its inheritance claim.

1 COUNT EVERHARD<br />
The strikingly ground and gilded<br />
back of the polished 5/8" blade<br />
is an absolute highlight in the<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> selection. The elements of<br />
the blade etching, adorned with<br />
24-karat gold, are reminiscent<br />
of the realm of Count Everhard<br />
of the Mark, with the coat of<br />
arms of the city of Hamm,<br />
which is derived from House<br />
Berg. The blade has a rounded<br />
head and the tang features a<br />
double-sided jimping. Delivered<br />
in a refined presentation display<br />
with certificate of authenticity<br />
and individual serial number.<br />
2 COUNT EVERHARD III<br />
This extraordinary 6/8" straight<br />
razor symbolizes the death of<br />
Adolf III, Count of Berg, during the<br />
Fifth Crusade in Egypt. The end<br />
of the polished blade is lined by<br />
a French head, which underlines<br />
the special elegance of this piece.<br />
Hand selected horn scales with<br />
additional decorative pins, the<br />
elaborate grind of the blade back,<br />
and the partial gilding are just a<br />
few of its highlights. Delivered<br />
in a refined presentation display<br />
with certificate of authenticity and<br />
individual serial number.<br />
3 COUNT ENGELBERT II<br />
The last Count of Berg, Engelbert<br />
II, was also called Engelbert I,<br />
Archbishop of Cologne. When<br />
he was murdered, Berg went<br />
to the House of Limburg. This<br />
splendid 7/8" straight razor<br />
shows Engelbert as Archbishop<br />
of Cologne. The graded head of<br />
this blade (ground until it makes<br />
the right sound), is made from<br />
the finest Solingen straight razor<br />
steel. The curved blade back in<br />
combination with a handle made<br />
from the finest horn highlight its<br />
great elegance and unique quality.<br />
Includes certificate of authenticity<br />

BOKER ABALONE & PAUA<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Abalone combines<br />
extraordinary design and<br />
outstanding performance. The<br />
die-forged blade of this exceptional<br />
straight razor consists of<br />
carbon steel O1 (1.2510), hardened<br />
to 59-61 HRC. Thanks to its<br />
superior characteristics and excellent<br />
edge retention, this carbon<br />
steel is the perfect material for<br />
premium straight razors.<br />
Apart from classic materials that<br />
have been defining the popular<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> Straight Razor for decades,<br />
we are always looking for modern<br />
and innovative natural material<br />
combinations, offering a special<br />
look or feel, that our customers<br />
will love. White gold, sea snails<br />
or sea ears are just some other<br />
names of the abalone.<br />
These mollusks live off the<br />
coasts of Australia, New Zealand,<br />
Japan, China, Mexico and South<br />
Africa, attaching themselves to<br />
rocks just a few meters below<br />
the surface.<br />
As a great delicacy, they are<br />
desirable enough to have caused<br />
entire gang wars in the past.<br />
Today, the precious natural<br />
product is raised in water<br />
farms. The beautiful shells, with<br />
their almost artificial looking<br />
shimmer, have always been used<br />
as decoration, implements or<br />
material for jewelry, intarsia or<br />
mother-of-pearl clips.<br />
Paua are shellfish of the abalone<br />
genus, but unlike abalones they<br />
are only found in the unspoiled<br />
nature of New Zealand's coastal<br />
waters. They have been used by<br />
the Maori for many centuries as<br />
traditional body ornaments, and<br />
are still used today as decoration<br />
for figurines, weapons and<br />
meeting houses.<br />
Employing cutting edge production<br />
methods, a wafer-thin layer of<br />
colorful abalone or paua is<br />
applied to a carrier and encased<br />
in transparent acrylic. The<br />
resulting highly resistant material<br />
obtained in this way is ideally<br />
suited for the production of razor<br />
handles, and impresses with its<br />
extraordinary play of colors and<br />
three-dimensional appearance.<br />
All razors in this impressive series<br />
are equipped with a jimping on<br />
both sides, and are of course<br />
ground extra hollow with a wall<br />
(sound). The authentic <strong>Boker</strong><br />
stamp in the blade passage is<br />
driven in before the blade is<br />
hardened, and thus marks each<br />
of our quality Solingen products.<br />
Delivery includes a certificate<br />
of authenticity and historical<br />
packaging. Handmade in the<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> Knife Manufactory in<br />
Solingen.

wide blade of this exceptional razor<br />

unique in color and pattern. In addition<br />
to the extraordinary adhesion material,<br />
which is additionally provided with an<br />
ornamental rivet, the detailed blade<br />
laser engraving immediately catches<br />
the eye. A historical <strong>Boker</strong> etching,<br />
with which our razors were already<br />
decorated around 1900, served as a<br />
model. With authentic <strong>Boker</strong> stamp<br />

BOKER ELITE<br />
Tradition meets the modern age.<br />
At the end of the 19th century,<br />
especially extravagant straight razors<br />
were sold under the brand "<strong>Boker</strong><br />
Elite." We continue that tradition<br />
with this exceptional line of straight<br />
razors. The handle scales of these<br />
impressive models are CNC-milled<br />
from a block of carbon fiber, and<br />
the massive 6/8" blade features two<br />
bevels on the blade back.<br />
1 BOKER ELITE CARBON 3.0<br />
The latest version of the popular Elite<br />
Carbon sports two red G10 liners,<br />
creating a striking contrast to the carbon<br />
fiber scales. The CNC-milled carbon<br />
fiber scales provide added stability<br />
and silky soft blade movements. The<br />
harmonious overall appearance is<br />
completed by a 6/8" blade of carbon<br />
steel with two chamfers on the spine.<br />
Comes in historic packaging with a<br />
certificate of authenticity.<br />
ITEM NO. 140544 $ 239.00<br />
2 BOKER ELITE CARBON 2.0<br />
The carbon fiber handle of this Special<br />
<strong>Edition</strong> is manually contoured and<br />
goes perfectly with the elaborately<br />
ground blade spine and Spanish point.<br />
The CNC-milled carbon fiber scales<br />
are polished to achieve a subtle sheen<br />
and highlight the special texture of the<br />
carbon fiber. The red G10 spacer adds<br />
the perfect touch of color. Comes in<br />
historic packaging with a certificate of<br />
authenticity.<br />
ITEM NO. 140545 $ 365.00<br />
BOKER PREMIUM SELECTION<br />
The two <strong>Boker</strong> Premium Selection<br />
straight razors once again set<br />
themselves apart from other catalog<br />
highlights. The elaborately worked<br />
handles of faux mother-of-pearl and<br />
faux tortoise shell, which are milled<br />
in the <strong>Boker</strong> manufactory in Solingen,<br />
look deceptively similar to the<br />
authentic natural materials. The nickel<br />
silver inlays further underline the<br />
elaborate production and refinement<br />
of the handles and blades.<br />
3 BOKER MOTHER OF PEARL 2.0<br />
The cut and polished shells of the pearl<br />
oysters were once a common currency<br />
and have been used in the production<br />
of jewelry for ages. The handles of<br />
this exquisite model are crafted of faux<br />
pearl, but are much stronger in contrast<br />
to the natural material. The shimmering<br />
handle harmonizes beautifully with the<br />
partial gilding of the blade's spine.<br />
The extra hollow and ridge ground 6/8<br />
blade is made of classic non stainless<br />
carbon steel O1. With authentic <strong>Boker</strong><br />
stamp in the blade bore, certificate of<br />
authenticity and historical packaging.<br />
ITEM NO. 140556 $ 365.00<br />
4 BOKER TORTOISE SHELL 2.0<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Tortoise Shell gets a new<br />
look. The 6/8 inch blade with goldplated<br />
spine blends harmoniously into<br />
the modern handle shape. The extra<br />
hollow and ridge ground blade is made<br />
of classic stainless carbon steel. The<br />
nickel silver inlay and the doublesided<br />
jimping are just a few of the<br />
new features. In addition, the third<br />
rivet provides additional stability. With<br />
authentic <strong>Boker</strong> stamp in the blade<br />
bore, certificate of authenticity and<br />

BOKER BARBERETTE<br />
BOKER BARBERETTE<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Barberette stylishly unifies<br />
the benefits of a forged straight razor<br />
with those of a safety razor. The handling<br />
is comparable to that of a straight razor,<br />
but there is no need to clean and strop it,<br />
since the replaceable razors can simply<br />
be changed.<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Barberette is not only very<br />
popular among wet shaving lovers,<br />
travelers, and professional barbers<br />
and hair dressers, but can also be<br />
found in bathrooms at home as a<br />
low-maintenance, comfortable, versatile<br />
companion. <strong>Barbers</strong> especially like to<br />
use the uncomplicated replaceable<br />
blades in hectic business operations<br />
due to hygiene regulations, rather than<br />
disinfecting straight razors the traditional<br />
way. The newly designed version adds a<br />
splash of style.<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Barberette has the same<br />
geometry and size of our forged straight<br />
razors. Thanks to the grooved synthetic<br />
surface, it provides a safe grip for fingers<br />
at any time. The blade receptacle is<br />
made from stainless steel and moistureresistant<br />
synthetic, and is designed to<br />
permit the use of both the ubiquitous<br />
43mm standard blades for classic safety<br />
razors (double edge) and the 65mm<br />
long standard blades. Before inserting,<br />
double edge razors are carefully broken<br />
in the middle.<br />
The handles of the Barberette follow<br />
that of forged straight razors made<br />
by the <strong>Boker</strong> Manufactory and leave<br />
nothing to be desired. You have the<br />
choice between moisture-resistant<br />
synthetic with nickel silver inlay, hand<br />
selected olive wood with contrasting<br />
grain and elaborate ornamentation, or<br />
faux horn with decorative stud. The<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> Barberette combines professional<br />
practicality with the usual handling and<br />
balance and authentic aesthetics of<br />
a classic straight razor. In addition, it<br />
provides a price alternative to forged<br />
straight razors for beginners.<br />
1 BOKER BARBERETTE BLACK & RED<br />
The unusual handle made of carbon<br />
fiber with red liners, in combination<br />
with the black coated blade holder,<br />
brings racing flair to the bathroom<br />
at home. But not to worry - shaving<br />
with the <strong>Boker</strong> Barbarette Black &<br />
Red doesn't take a hundredth of a<br />
second, even if it effortlessly masters<br />
the most difficult (facial) passages<br />
as if it were actually an F1 bolide.<br />
To avoid bloody tracks on the race<br />
track, you can choose between 43mm<br />
and 65mm double edge standard<br />
blades according to your preferences.<br />

STAINLESS<br />
Along with the established <strong>Boker</strong><br />
Barberettes with a plastic blade receptacle<br />
we already offer, many barbers have<br />
been asking for a straight razor knife<br />
with a stainless steel receptacle. The<br />
receptacle of the <strong>Boker</strong> Pro Barberettes is<br />
designed to accommodate a half Double<br />
Edge (43mm standard blade) and hold it<br />
securely between the two stainless steel<br />
parts. This system has been used by<br />
professional barbers and hairdressers for<br />
many years before we optimized it:<br />
• The geometry and size of the <strong>Boker</strong> Pro<br />
Barberette follows that of the premium<br />
quality forged straight razors made by the<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> Manufactory in Solingen.<br />
• The bottom of the tang has a fine<br />
jimping, offering a secure grip even when<br />
wet.<br />
• In order to improve opening the two<br />
blade halves, the round point is tapered<br />
inward on both sides. When the clamp<br />
is removed, the two halves can be easily<br />
pushed against each other by means of<br />
the round point.<br />
• Precise riveting and superior<br />
craftsmanship ensure precise function<br />
and a long life, even with heavy use.<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> Pro Barberette combines<br />
professional functionality, a familiar grip<br />
and balance and the authentic aesthetics<br />
of a classic straight razor. If you are just<br />
starting out, it is an alternative to a forged<br />
straight razor at a lower price point.<br />
Before inserting, the double blades need<br />
to be carefully broken in half. Comes with<br />
historic packaging and a double-edged<br />
blade.<br />
1 BOKER PRO BARBERETTE BLACK<br />
The handle is made from moisture<br />

The material is easy to care for, very<br />

2 BOKER PRO LONG BARBERETTE<br />
BLACK<br />
Shortly after the introduction of<br />
the popular <strong>Boker</strong> Pro Barberette,<br />
the wish for a long version arose,<br />
where the blade holder is specifically<br />
designed for 65mm long standard<br />
blades. Even though the full blade<br />
width is certainly not necessary for<br />
shaving tricky facial contours, the<br />
long blade comes closest to shaving<br />
with a forged razor. Similar to its little<br />
brother, the blade is fixed between<br />
two stainless steel halves, by means<br />
of holding points.<br />

8 - 9 ALUM<br />
Alum is a natural mineral with antiseptic<br />
and astringent properties. For centuries,<br />
alum has been used as a hemostatic<br />
and for alleviating razor burn and<br />
skin irritations. After shaving, the<br />
styptic pencil is first wetted and then<br />
rubbed gently over any affected skin<br />
areas. It is also a popular aftershave<br />
or deodorant. Alum doesn't contain<br />
preservatives, colorants or fragrances.<br />
It is hypoallergenic, cost effective and<br />
extremely economical.<br />

3 BOKER ONE-WEEK SHAVING SET<br />
The sensitive, fine edge of the<br />
straight razor mostly realigns after<br />
a sufficiently long resting period.<br />
If you give the edge a sufficient<br />
amount of time to recover after<br />
the shave, you can minimize<br />
the care effort and increase the<br />
lifespan of the straight razor. For<br />
this reason, one-week sets were<br />
popular from the 19th century into<br />
the 1930's. They contained seven<br />
identical straight razors marked<br />
with the individual days of the<br />
week, in a handy wooden box.<br />
The <strong>Boker</strong> one-week box gives the<br />
fan and collector the opportunity<br />
to configure his own one-week<br />
set according to his needs, with<br />
identical or different straight razor<br />
models. To make it less susceptible<br />
to moisture, we decided against<br />
using genuine leather and instead<br />
dressed the wood with high quality<br />
synthetic leather inside and out,<br />
employing an elaborate wrapping<br />
technique. The pockets with the<br />
seven straight razor receptacles have<br />
been padded to prevent slipping.<br />
With diagonal ribbon closure in the<br />
lid, and decorative brass brackets.<br />
Dimensions: 8.75" x 7.00".<br />

CARE & STROPPING OF STRAIGHT RAZORS<br />
SHARPENING & ACCESSORIES<br />
Caring for a straight razor mainly<br />
entails preserving the razor's edge<br />
and protecting it from corrosion.<br />
The sharpness of the razor mainly<br />
comes from regular "stropping" on<br />
linen and untreated leather and,<br />
after a while, on leather treated<br />
with a grinding paste. This requires<br />
a bit of practice but can be learned<br />
quickly. While with a pocket or<br />
kitchen knife, the difficulty lies in<br />
maintaining the correct angle, the<br />
geometry of the straight razor helps<br />
us a lot in this respect. The precisely<br />
balanced ratio of the very thick back<br />
of the blade to the whisper-thin<br />
edge ensures that you automatically<br />
get the right angle on the edge<br />
when the back touches the leather<br />
strop (see fig. 1).<br />
SPINE<br />
LEATHER<br />
Fig. 1<br />
BLADE<br />
First, touch the back to the leather<br />
and then carefully move the edge<br />
to touch the strop. Now pull the<br />
straight razor with slight pressure in<br />
the direction of the back (away from<br />
the edge) across the entire length<br />
of the strop. While doing so, move<br />
the razor slightly diagonally across<br />
the leather. This way you can cover<br />
the entire length of the edge with<br />
the leather. The back and the edge<br />
must be in constant contact with<br />
the strop (see fig. 2).<br />
Fig. 2<br />
It is very important to flip the razor<br />
over its back when you reach the<br />
end of the strop. UNDER NO<br />
CIRCUMSTANCE should you flip<br />
the straight razor over the edge –<br />
this would round off the edge again,<br />
i.e. blunt it (see fig. 3).<br />
Fig. 3<br />
The untreated leather does not<br />
remove material from the edge, i.e.,<br />
it does not sharpen the razor in the<br />
usual sense. You can image the burr<br />
of the edge microscopically like a<br />
comb whose teeth are bent in all<br />
directions after shaving. The strop<br />
realigns these teeth into an even<br />
burr. If available, one should use<br />
the linen side in exactly the same<br />
manner as the leather strop before<br />
stropping.<br />
The fiber of the linen is soft, the<br />
mesh of the textile, however, is<br />
rough. This allows the linen to grip<br />
the burr and align it. The weave of<br />
the textile catches dirt and loose<br />
steel particles which could damage<br />
the sensitive edge when pressed<br />
against the strop. The final use of the<br />
strop makes the resulting edge finer.<br />
You should strop the razor BEFORE,<br />
and not AFTER shaving. Steel has a<br />
certain level of self-healing power,<br />
or “memory.” After stress, the burr<br />
slowly and partially stands itself up<br />
again. If you violently rip the burr<br />
up with the strop immediately after<br />
shaving, this stresses the material,<br />
which shortens the life expectancy<br />
of the burr and, in the long run, of<br />
the razor. The razor should rest for<br />
at least 24 hours after the shave –<br />
but 48 hours or more is ideal, so<br />
if you shave every day, you should<br />
own at least two straight razors. Our<br />
grandfathers therefore often had<br />
sets for the entire week, containing<br />
7 razors.<br />
If the cutting performance of the<br />
razor decreases over time despite<br />
regular stropping, the razor should<br />
be stropped on a second strop<br />
treated with special red grinding<br />
paste. This process actually does<br />
remove a minute amount of steel<br />
from the blade. It is not that easy<br />
to answer the obvious question of<br />
after how many shaves this should<br />
be done, as every beard is different.<br />
Many men only shave partially and<br />
contour their beards – the stress on<br />
the blade is different in each case.<br />
The user should strop with paste<br />
when the razor begins to pinch<br />
when shaving.<br />
After stropping with paste, you<br />
should clean the blade thoroughly,<br />
and strop it once more on untreated<br />
leather. In order to protect it from<br />
corrosion, dry the blade carefully<br />
and thoroughly after shaving, and<br />
then oil it with an acid-free, viscous<br />
oil. Camellia oil has proven to be<br />
excellent for this purpose (see page<br />
33).<br />
1 BELGIAN WHETSTONE BLUE<br />
The blue Belgian whetstone features<br />
a content of garnet of 30% and<br />
sharpens a little slower than the<br />
yellow whetstone (above). The thicker<br />
natural layers allow larger whetstone<br />
sizes. Individual shaping is possible.<br />

2 BOKER SUPER ERASER<br />
The versatile <strong>Boker</strong> Super Eraser<br />
is perfect for grinding, scrubbing,<br />
smoothing, cleaning, and polishing<br />
metal surfaces, with its fine 240 grit.<br />
Especially with blades made of carbon<br />
steel, the typical dark spots as well<br />
as rust can appear after some time.<br />
This is absolutely normal and does not<br />
represent a defect, but it may disturb<br />
the optical appearance of the knife.<br />
To give the blades a new shine again,<br />
regular care with the <strong>Boker</strong> Super<br />
Eraser is therefore recommended.<br />
Made in Germany. Dimensions: 3.15"<br />
x 1.97" x 0.79".<br />

3 BOKER CAMELLIA OIL<br />
This high quality, pure camellia oil<br />
is made according to a traditional<br />
Chinese recipe, and has many uses.<br />
The thin oil is extracted from the<br />
seed of the camellia tree, is taste<br />
neutral, odorless, and does not dry.<br />
The camellia oil is food safe and<br />
impresses with its special purity.<br />
Corrosion protection<br />
The acid-free, non-resinous, and<br />
non-evaporating camellia oil is<br />
traditionally used to protect from<br />
corrosion in the care of high quality<br />
knife blades made from carbon steel,<br />
as well as tools and weapons. It<br />
1<br />
2<br />
is purely organic and perfect for<br />
preserving non-stainless kitchen<br />
knives and straight razors as – in<br />
contrast to other care oils – does not<br />
form an 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.<br />

1 BOKER CHROME RAZOR STAND<br />
High quality straight razors deserve<br />
not only an attractive but also a safe<br />
presentation, so that the extremely thinly<br />
ground blades are not damaged. Damage<br />
should also be averted by the proud owner<br />
- it happens all too often that a dropped<br />
razor is caught in the heat of the moment<br />
with the hands, causing deep cuts. This<br />
high quality, chrome plated <strong>Boker</strong> razor<br />
stand, made with solid metal construction,<br />
provides safe and attractive storage for<br />
your favorite razor. Compatible with any<br />
standard straight razor, with 4/8" to 8/8"<br />
blade. Inner diameter: 0.31". Width: 4.21".<br />
Height: 3.43". Base diameter: 1.97".<br />

2 BOKER SHAVING SOAP<br />
TALLOWATE/TOBACCO<br />
A gentle and thorough shave always<br />
requires a shaving soap or an oil to soften<br />
and stretch the beard, to improve the<br />
gliding properties and to visually distinguish<br />
the shaven areas. This premium shaving<br />
soap is based on beef tallow (Tallowate), in<br />
the classic Tobacco fragrance. Delivered in<br />
a metal tin. 2.5 oz.<br />
ITEM NO. 04BO178 $ 31.95<br />
3 BOKER SHAVING BOWL<br />
Since 1929, the shaving bowl has been<br />
handmade in a small German manufactory,<br />
using a process with over one hundred<br />
steps. The poured and thrown porcelain<br />
products are shaped, glazed and decorated,<br />
and finally burnt to ensure a long-lasting<br />
service life from generation to generation.<br />
This double-walled porcelain shaving bowl<br />
features a round knob that ensures a<br />
secure grip and easy handling. A perfect fit<br />
for soaps with a diameter of approximately<br />
2.75". Dimensions: 4.25" (w) x 3.00" (h).<br />
ITEM NO. 04BO182 $ 59.95<br />
4 BOKER CLASSIC BLACK<br />
This purely vegan quality has been<br />
developed especially for wet shaving. Its<br />
dark color and softness are similar to the<br />
synthetic fibers of natural hair material,<br />
giving it equally impressive performance<br />
characteristics. Some users prefer this<br />
3<br />
material because it easily and economically<br />
creates an especially creamy shaving lather.<br />
The handle is crafted of a durable synthetic.<br />
Dimensions: 1.25" x 4.00". Weight: 1.8 oz.<br />
Ring size M: 0.75".<br />

5 BOKER PREMIUM BLACK<br />
Connoisseurs regard the silver-tipped<br />
badger brush as the high-water mark -<br />
only the best, carefully selected badger<br />
bristles are used for these fully hand made<br />
shaving brushes. The precious natural<br />
materials are particularly soft and flexible.<br />
The conically tapered shaft of the individual<br />
bristle permits particularly large amounts of<br />
shaving cream to be absorbed and fed to<br />
the tips. Yet another hallmark of quality is<br />
the so-called "mirror" - a black belt that runs<br />
through the predominantly silver sheen<br />
of the bristle. The handle is made from<br />
7 BOKER CLASSIC HORN<br />
This version, made with a stunning horn<br />
in brown amber for the handle, features<br />
genuine badger hair. In this basic quality<br />
among the natural hair types, the individual<br />
hairs are a bit stronger, yet still soft and<br />
clearly more flexible than bristles. If you<br />
prefer a badger hair brush and want to<br />
achieve a somewhat stronger massaging<br />
effect, this is the model for you. Dimensions:<br />
1.25" x 4.00". Weight: 1.8 oz. Ring size M:<br />
0.75".<br />
ITEM NO. 04BO129 $ 79.95<br />
8 BOKER MODERN BOG OAK<br />
This version, made from bog oak, also uses<br />
fine badger hair. The rare handle material<br />
is not its own type of wood, but is created<br />
from oak wood which sunk into bogs many<br />
centuries ago and has gone through a<br />
number of metamorphoses. Dimensions:<br />
1.50" x 4.50". Weight: 3.5 oz. Ring size M:<br />
0.75".<br />
ITEM NO. 04BO131 $ 121.95<br />

It is not surprising that the modern<br />
man attaches importance to a neat<br />
appearance. Even barber shops are<br />
increasingly taking care of the nail, as<br />
well-groomed nails signal a healthy<br />

As with classic wet shaving, a decent<br />
manicure is only possible with first<br />
class instruments. The exclusive<br />
manicure sets by <strong>Boker</strong> Arbolito meet<br />
this requirement and contain the<br />
appropriate tools for cutting and filing<br />
fingernails, removing excess cuticle<br />
and dirt underneath the fingernails,<br />
and polishing the nails.<br />
1 - 7 PREMAX RINGLOCK SCISSORS<br />
For generations, high quality scissors<br />
are made in the small Italian town of<br />
Premana. The local manufacturers, with<br />
their modern production processes and<br />
carefully selected materials in combination<br />
with their attention to detail, satisfy<br />
the demanding customer with their<br />
high quality European manufacturing<br />
methods. A good example of that is<br />
the Ringlock Scissors series. The well<br />
known connecting screw is replaced by<br />
an advanced locking system, developed<br />
and patented by Premax. The Ringlock<br />
System is made with the help of special<br />
tooling out of the watchmaker's industry<br />
and works with a ring and a bearing<br />
made of aluminum, which guarantees a<br />
permanent tight fit of the two halves. The<br />
8 BALICOMB<br />
The Asian balisong has an unmistakable<br />
presence, even in the shape of a comb. The<br />
comb and the bisected handle are made<br />
of stainless steel with a dark stonewash<br />
finish. This turns combing a straight part<br />
almost into a tactical task. Comb length:<br />
3.88". Overall length: 8.75". Weight: 3.5 oz.<br />
ITEM NO. 09MB252 $ 25.95<br />
Ringlock System guarantees maximum<br />
