Böker Straight razor 7/8′ Blue Shell

The so-called broadswords are particularly powerful straight razors and not only inspire die-hard lovers of classic wet shaving, but also us time and time again. The mighty 7/8 inch wide blade of this exceptional razor also has a barber's notch. Paua are shellfish from the genus abalone, but unlike abalone, they are only found in the untouched nature of New Zealand's coastal waters. They have been used by the Maori as traditional body ornaments for many centuries and and are still used today as decorations for figurines, weapons and meeting houses. The impressive handle scales are absolutely unique in terms of their color and pattern. In addition to the unusual handle material, which is additionally provided with a decorative rivet, the detailed blade laser engraving immediately catches the eye. A historical Böker etching, with which our straight razors were already decorated around 1900, served as a model. The blade is ground extra hollow with a wall. With authentic Böker stamp in the blade, certificate of authenticity and historical packaging. Handmade in the Böker Messer-Manufaktur Solingen The famous knives with the world-famous tree mark have been handmade in the blade city of Solingen since 1869. Since its foundation, no knife has left the manufactory without this seal of quality.
