Böker Solingen Barber's Choice

Product detailed description
The Böker Barber's Choice vintage blade edition is truly a matter of the heart for many enthusiasts. In the pre-war period, the classic straight razor was considered the first choice for barbers who wanted to use the blade for all occasions, thus ensuring the best possible flexibility when shaving. The straight razor therefore uses a 5/8 inch wide blade with a Spanish head so that even fine contours can be shaved. The front of the blade is adorned with the Barber's Choice inscription based on a historic pattern and complemented by the classic H.Boker & Co logo on the blade edge. Only on the basis of the historic original knife was it possible to carry out a demanding restoration of the lettering, which then found its final and detailed execution in a multi-layer laser process.
The satin-finished blade is made of durable carbon steel and is characterized by its high blade durability. The black handle is made of almost indestructible plastic and is therefore very easy to clean, not only for the barber.
The handle is harmoniously decorated with two silver rivets.

The roots of Böker go back to the 17th century, when the family forge operated in Remscheid and focused on steel processing and edge tools. Over time, practical experience shaped a technical mindset that balanced durability, cutting performance, and reliability. The expansion into sabres and rapiers around 1829–1830 marked a decisive technological step, demanding precise heat treatment and consistent blade geometry. With more than a hundred skilled craftsmen employed, the company gained the capacity to refine production without losing its artisanal foundation.
During the second half of the 19th century, parts of the family moved to North America, establishing facilities in the USA and Canada. This international presence allowed experimentation with new designs and materials. Today, major production remains in Solingen, supported by manufacturing in the USA and Argentina, while modern CNC machining ensures tight tolerances and repeatable results. Böker develops knives in-house and in collaboration with well-known makers, delivering tools that combine engineering precision with practical usability, including the widely distributed MAGNUM line aimed at robust everyday performance.
