Böker Safety Razor Open Comb

The Böker Safety Razor Open Comb is a premium wet-shaving tool crafted for skilled shavers who appreciate precision, tradition, and comfort. The open comb design allows shaving foam and hair to flow off freely, making it particularly suitable for shaving longer hair or for those who shave less frequently. Both the grip and the open comb are machined from solid brass and then nickel-plated, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and a refined appearance. The razor’s balanced weight delivers a high-quality feel during use, ensuring both control and comfort. Compatible with all classic double-edge razor blades.

Aim of the Product

This razor provides an efficient and close shave while minimizing clogging thanks to the open comb design. It is ideal for experienced wet shavers who want a professional-level tool that maintains smooth performance even on denser or longer facial hair.

Audience

Perfect for experienced wet shavers, grooming professionals, and traditional shaving enthusiasts who value craftsmanship and timeless design. Suitable for those seeking a sustainable, reusable alternative to disposable razors.

Product Use

• Shave with short, gentle strokes, letting the razor’s weight provide the pressure.
• Rinse after each pass to avoid clogging.

Specifications & Technical Details

Other Useful Information

Historically, safety razors became popular in the late 19th and early 20th century, after centuries of straight razor dominance. While straight razors required honing, stropping, and significant skill to use safely, safety razors provided a far safer, more user-friendly alternative. Their protective combs and replaceable blades allowed men to shave at home without visiting a barber. This innovation revolutionized shaving worldwide, combining efficiency with reduced risk of cuts, and remains a symbol of classic grooming tradition.
