The Böker Barberette stylishly combines the advantages of a forged straight razor with those of a safety razor. Its handling is comparable to a straight razor, but the effort of cleaning and stropping is eliminated, as the replaceable blades can be easily changed. Also known as a razor blade razor, the Böker Barberette is extremely popular not only with wet shaving beginners, travelers, and professional barbers and hairdressers, but also as a convenient and easy-to-maintain companion in the home bathroom. Barbers, in particular, appreciate the convenience of replaceable blades in their fast-paced businesses due to hygiene regulations, rather than disinfecting traditional straight razors.
The Böker straight razor blade knife precisely replicates the geometry and size of our forged straight razors. Thanks to its grooved plastic grip, it provides a secure hold for your fingers at all times. The blade holder is made of stainless steel and moisture-resistant plastic and is designed to accommodate both the widely available 43 mm standard double-edge blades for classic safety razors and 65 mm standard blades. Before insertion, the double-edge blades are carefully snapped in half. The handles of the straight razor blade knife are modeled after those of the forged straight razors from the Böker manufactory and leave nothing to be desired. You can choose from moisture-resistant plastic with a nickel silver inlay, hand-selected olive wood with a contrasting grain and elaborate decoration, or deceptively realistic imitation horn with a decorative rivet. The Böker straight razor blade knife combines professional practicality with the familiar handling and balance, as well as the authentic aesthetics of a classic straight razor. Furthermore, it offers beginners a more affordable alternative to a forged straight razor.
