Boker 6/8 Pearl Tang Razor

£257.00

We are pleased to be able to offer this new razor from Boker. It’s unusual feature is the mother of pearl inlay on both sides of the tang. Many straight razors of yesteryear did have special features like this. Indeed Boker’s catalogue of 1906 offered many razors with a pearl tang, but this aesthetic approach has fallen by the wayside in modern times. Boker have decided to re-introduce it and have produced this beautiful razor. It has a polished 6/8 carbon blade with a square point and a stunning laser engraved spine and bog oak scales. The blade has an unmarked satin finish with extra hollow grind.

We are pleased to be able to offer this new razor from Boker. It’s unusual feature is the mother of pearl inlay on both sides of the tang. Many straight razors of yesteryear did have special features like this. Indeed Boker’s catalogue of 1906 offered many razors with a pearl tang, but this aesthetic approach has fallen by the wayside in modern times. Boker have decided to re-introduce it and have produced this beautiful razor. It has a polished 6/8 carbon blade with a square point and a stunning laser engraved spine and bog oak scales. The blade has an unmarked satin finish with extra hollow grind.

The pearl tang is made by affixing two thin pieces of mother of pearl to the tapered tang and expertly sanding each piece until it fits the tang seamlessly. Not an easy task when you consider the sizes of the pieces involved!

The scales are made from bog oak. Oak trunks are found in bogs, swamps, on riverbanks and lake shores, where they have been submerged for several centuries or even millennia. The dark oak gives a pleasing contrast to the pearl tang and the polished blade. I’m sure you’ll agree Boker have produced a very impressive razor in this model.

SHAVE READY – Unlike some retailers, our razors are not supplied as they come from the factory. We individually prepare all the razors we sell. For full details see our policy.

Boker Straight Razors

Since the Second World War, when the original factory was destroyed, significant investments in staff and technology mean that Boker have become a worldwide leader in the production of high quality razors using only the finest materials with every razor being made by hand through some 170 individual production steps. Skilled master craftsmen produce a blade that is extremely flexible. The edge can be visibly bent on your thumbnail and returns to its original shape when released, meaning they adapt very well to the contours of the face but are sufficiently strong to give many years of use.

Boker Shaving Accessories

Our range of Boker cut-throat razors are complemented by a select range of men's shaving accessories including Boker shaving soap, shave brushes and a straight razor stand as well as the Boker Arbolito manicure sets.
