The Edelweiss straight razor series has been an integral part of the historic Böker straight razor production since the 1920s. Even today, we and some fortunate collectors have absolutely like-new straight razors from this series dating back to long past times. The ornately decorated Edelweiss lettering of the nickel silver inlay, which is painstakingly hand-set into the high-quality English white plastic handle, together with the original blade etching on the partially polished blade, gives this razor its special character. Similar to the historic models, the grip area of the blade is serrated only on the upper side. The third decorative rivet additionally gives the handle stability and naturally corresponds to the original historic series. As with all razors from the Böker knife manufactory, the blade is ground extremely thin (to tone) and always allows a gentle and clean shave. Includes classic blade stamp. Delivered with certificate of authenticity in historic packaging.

The version equipped with a round head in the popular width of 5/8 inch is excellent for beginners in the field of wet shaving. The polished blade on the front side, combined with the elaborately designed blade etching, emphasizes the particularly noble appearance of this razor. The blade is ground in many elaborate steps to the highest quality level, extra hollow with a wall for sound. Includes authentic Böker stamp in the blade groove. Delivered in historical packaging and with a certificate of authenticity.

Böker Razor Manufactory

Since the beginnings of the Böker Knife Manufactory in 1869, high-quality razors have been produced in Solingen. Even then, the focus was on processing absolutely high-quality materials and emphasizing the highest manufacturing quality. The success of this product policy quickly became apparent, making Böker razors internationally known. After the end of World War II, the production of razors was gradually discontinued. Today, an original Böker USA catalog from 1906 represents the oldest document in the company archive about the razor assortment of that time. Classic and traditionally made razors have been experiencing a genuine renaissance for some time. Worldwide demand is continuously increasing. In recent years, we have made significant investments in razor manufacturing in machinery, personnel, and further development of know-how to meet the growing demand for high-quality razors and to further expand our strong market position.
