Our straight razors are defined by their superior blades. Each razor features a 5/8 inch hollow-ground blade, which provides an optimal balance of hardness and flexibility. This design, made from high-quality carbon steel, ensures a precise and effortlessly smooth shave.
The handle material is integral to the feel and performance of your razor. We offer handles in various premium materials like walnut wood, olive wood, and genuine horn. Each material provides a unique weight, balance, and texture, allowing you to choose a razor that not only looks exceptional but also feels perfectly balanced in your hand.
A hanging strop is a fundamental tool for daily maintenance, perfect for beginners and a simple way to keep your blade sharp. Our tension screw strop is an advanced option that provides more control, with two distinct sides—one for honing and one for polishing—allowing for a more comprehensive approach to razor edge care.
Proper straight razor care is key to its longevity. After each use, rinse the blade and dry it completely to prevent rust. Before each shave, gently pass the blade over a hanging strop to realign the edge. When not in use, store the razor in a dry place, preferably in its protective slipcase.
For a beginner, a complete set includes a high-quality straight razor and a hanging strop for blade maintenance. Some of our razors come with a protective leather slipcase. These fundamental tools provide everything you need to start your journey into classic wet shaving with confidence.
