Since the beginning of the Boker
manufacturing
plant in 1869, high quality
straight razors were
produced in Solingen, Germany. At
that time, Boker
were already focused on the usage
of nothing less
than the best in materials, and it
was of the utmost
importance to maintain the highest
production
standards available. With that
background, the
success came quickly, and this gave
Boker straight
razors an impeccable international
reputation. A
guarantor for the highest quality
is the successful
"finger nail test". Only the edge
of a perfectly
ground blade can be visibly bent on
your thumbnail
and returns immediately to its
original shape when
released. Cheap blades are too
thick to do this, and
for that reason they are refered to
as "axes" by the
experts.
This is a superb example of Boker's
craft from the
Arbolito razor range. This razor is
manufactured in
more than 120 steps by hand in the
Boker factory in
Solingen. Supplied with individual
serial number
and certificate of authenticity in
historical
packaging.
