From the beginning of last century the blade's steel contained real silver in order to enhance the cutting properties, and was called "Silver Steel". As a result of adding silver, the surface structure of the blade was clearly enhanced and the cutting performance of the razor was remarkably improved.
The non stainless but high-performing 6/8' carbon steel blade has a pronounced hollow ground and the remarkably smoothed out spine features a grooved thumb rest for safe handling. The handle scales of this version are made of moisture-resistant white plastic, whose ivory-like appearance contributes to the exclusive look.
Boker have been manufacturing high quality razors in Solingen (Germany's "Sheffield steel" equivalent) since 1869. More than 100 years later the new lineup revives the old tradition, with each open razor going through 170 production steps. A guarantor for the highest quality is the successful "finger nail test" wherby 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. Comes packaged with a certificate of authenticity.
Please note: As with all of our open razors, whilst this razor is factory honed and deemed "shave ready" by the manufacturer, that's not to say it can't be made sharper by getting it honed professionally which is down to personal preference.
