History Boker

Due to the rising demand in a politically restless era, Hermann and Robert Boker decided to start production of Sabels in 1829. From 1830, a weekly production of 2000 pieces, made by 64 forging and 47 grinders. Boker's famous knives have been made in Solingen since 1869. Since its foundation, one thing has always been the same: passion and enthusiasm for knives. Nowadays Boker is one of the largest manufacturers of knives worldwide. The age -old chestnut tree at the Bokerfabriek in the 17th century is the symbol and logo of Boker. This tree felled in 1925 due to lightning strike. During the Second World War, the factory in Solingen was completely destroyed. Shortly after the war, production was restarted. The former craftsmen came back and helped reconstruct buildings and production to regain the high standard of production quality.

Boker's open razors

The Boker King Cutter Straight Razor is a real classic. This 5/8 "razor has been around since the beginning of the 20th century. It is very suitable for daily use in the morning, also for the starting Scheerder. The King Cutter is easy to use, flexibly handable and ensures excellent shaving results. The razor is made from the best carbon steel from Solingen.

The Mother of Pearl and Schildpatt razors come from the Boker Premium Selection. The beautiful processed handles of these razors are made of imitation mother -of -pearl and turtle shield. Parts of the blade are gold -plated. Both razors are very robust and have a 5/8 "and 6/8" blade. Striking etching detail in the blade are the shell and turtle. An important innovation is the third pin in the handle. This provides extra stability during shaving.

Boker Safety Razors

The robust safety razors from Boker are a three -piece system. The shaving head consists of 2 separate halves and screws you on the handle. You clamp the loose razor blade here. The razor with the flat shaving head is ideal for super tight shaving of the mustache and beard contours. This razor has an extra long handle.

In addition, there is a razor with a shaving head with an open tooth comb. Due to the toothed shaving head, the Double Edge razor blade is more exposed and closer on the skin. This razor skips slightly more aggressively compared to the closed comb. Because the teeth of the boker razor are wide, you have an even pressure distribution on the skin. As a result, the Schermes skims efficiently but is not too aggressive. The open tooth comb is useful for shaving the stiff heavy beard growth or if the beard hairs have a nice length after a few weeks.

For quick and easy changing, Boker also has a razor with a butterfly closure. At the bottom of the handle is a rotary knob. By turning to this button, the shaving head open in which you can put the blade into. This razor has a closed comb and is suitable for light to normal beard growth.
