4/8" Straight Razor - Black Synthetic
The German name Wiener Schaber can be translated as Vienna Scraper. It is a special straight razor shape which usually comes as a 4/8″ blade and which thrills with its especially elegant and flowing lines. Already in the men’s salons of the first half of the 20th century, it was mainly used to touch up contours after the actual shave. The comparatively short blade with French Point is characteristic for it and the cutting edge merges into the tang in a gentle curve, giving the Wiener Schaber its very own appearance. The particularly narrow blade is hollowed and ground to sound in many elaborate steps. Including certificate of authenticity and historical packaging.
Since the beginning of the Böker manufacturing plant in 1869, high quality Straight Razors were produced in Solingen, Germany. At that time, they were already focused on the usage of nothing less than the best in materials, and it was of the utmost importance to maintain the highest production standards available. With that background, the success came quickly, and this gave Böker Straight Razors an impeccable international reputation. After World War II, the manufacturing of Straight Razors gradually came to a stop. Today, an original Böker catalog from 1906 is the oldest document in their archives about the razor blade product line of that time. More than 100 years later, a new lineup is being manufactured in Solingen, reviving the old tradition. Through 170 individual production steps, the new and exclusive Böker Straight Razors are created. A guarantor for the highest quality is the successful “finger nail test”. 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, and for that reason they are referred to as “axes” by the experts.
