Boker 'Schwarzgold' 6/8" Cut Throat Razor

Fancy a sword with a name like Excalibur? This is the Excalibur equivalent cut throat razor named Schwarzgold.

Named after and made in homage to the legendary English racing mare Schwarzgold (Black Gold). In 1940, she won the Diana prize by 6 lengths, the German Derby in the same year even by a legendary 10 lengths. The classic Kissaszony race was named after her the following year.

Despite this superior and hitherto unknown superiority, it is believed that Schwarzgold was never pushed to the limit, meaning that she actually always galloped short of her true potential. The reason for this (and another fascinating fact that gave rise to the legend) was the difficult character of the mare. Her trainer prohibited any use of the otherwise common bridle during training and during races. Everything Schwarzgold did, she did of her own will.

This razor complements the character of the horse. The square point blade has a stunning design and is ideal for getting close shaves around the corners of your mouth and nose but is not for the inexperienced.

This razor is hand-honed in the factory and is shave ready.

Shipped with an authenticity certificate and in historical packaging.
