The Best Straight Razor ~ Quality Stainless Steel ~ Will Never Rust - Black on Black Handle and Foldable Blade for a Sleek Professional Look - Get a Quality Barber Shave at Home

I purchased this razor for a 7 month deploymentI decided to buy straight razor because is was one of the cheapest straight razors that you could get for what it was. I purchased and Strop and some fine buffing paste and watch countless videos on the internet before buying this and I'm so happy that I did.1). So about me and how i use this razor, I am currently active duty Navy and as i mentioned above i purchased this razor the 7 month deployment that I as about to complete. I shave EVERY SINGLE DAY witch is important to know so you can understand how often this razor is used for the quality it is. when I first received this razor it was shave ready I did give it a couple passes on the strop that I applied the Extra fine buffing paste to and worked through both sides of a 3" leather strop before the first shave just to make sure it was good to go and I tell you it was the closest shave I have ever had!2). So on deployment I did not have access to a honing block or any other sharpening stone except for my leather strop with the green buffing paste that was applied to one of the sides. I find that I can use this razor twice between having to run it on the strop it still has the same sharp pull free stroke as it did the first time that I put it to my face.3). So after use for 8 months the black paint on the edge and the back of the blade has come of due to the stropping but the rest of it is still there. The case does it's job keeping the razor protected and there is zero sign of rust or corrosion witch was a concern of mine because i knew that I wouldn't be able to let it air dry I simply blow the water off wipe it with a towel and put it into my shaving bag witch is simply a cheap cosmetic bag you can buy form amazon or Walmart that holds my Pre shave oil, soap, brush, after shave balm, and the razor itself.4). some people on here said it gave them bumps or it wasn't sharp this that and another but it comes down to making sure the blade is ready for you to shave before you put it to your face and making sure that you are shaving properly, you might not think so but the pre shave oil, the soap that you use and how well you keep your' blade has I'd say 90% impact on your personal experience. If you have no idea what I am talking about there is a ton of free information on the web on wet shaving, stropping, and taking care of your blade and I urge you to simply google any question that you have and a person that is more knowledgeable about wet shaving most likely has a video on the subject.SUMMARY: I recommend this to anyone that wants a quality blade for the price point. It got me through a 7 month deployment without needing to be re-honed and the weight feels nice. not too heavy but not light and cheap feeling like the safety razors that have the interchangeable blades. If you are looking for your first real straight razor this is the blade for you because if you turn out not to like it or like wet shaving you can either return it or give it to a friend and at the end of the day it's still a quality blade that holds a wicked edge and gets an military inspection close shave every time!

This company is awesome!I received my first blade from this company and wasn't particularly satisfied. I am new to straight razor shaving and I just bought all of my new equipment so I wasn't sure, with so many variables, what was going wrong. I tried shaving at different angles, different stropping techniques, and virtually everything but I couldn't get the darn blade to cut hair, though I embarrassingly cut my skin a couple of times.Just after buying it I got a follow-up email from the company (they reached out to me, not the other way around) asking how my experience was, and suggesting I contact them first before leaving a negative review.I admired this and I was internally on the fence because, on the one hand, I wasn't getting much use out of the product, but I wasn't sure if that was due to poor manufacturing, or my inability to use it properly as a beginner. I had no other blade or prior experience to compare it too, so I really wasn't sure who was at fault. I didn't want to wrongly blame the company, but I also wasn't getting much use out of it.I told them this in an email and what they decided to do was send me another blade to try it out and see if that made a difference. Keep in mind, this company reached out to me, and then sent another replacement blade, at no charge, all the way to Hawai'i.Fortunately, when the new blade arrived, it took a couple of weeks for me to get the technique down and really start getting decent shaves, but it worked. It appeared that all it was was a defective blade, and possibly some bad stropping on my part, but the new blade solved the problem.I have been shaving with this blade ever since and it has turned out terrifically. I told them that if it weren't for that considerate move, I might've given up on the beauty of straight razor shaving entirely because it can be hard to continue trying to master the art with those circumstances. Luckily, this company came to my aid and provided me with a working razor after that incident.I would invite anyone looking to getting into straight razor shaving to try this razor. I won't hurt your wallet, and the company is a joy to work with. If you have any issues, tell them about your experience. I feel they will be able to work something out!Until then, I will keep on shaving with this beauty

Have had this razor for some time now but have just begun to use it. Have wanted to get away from disposable razors and thought I would get into using a straight razor. More work than I thought! That said, I am now trying to get into this completely. Been watching the Youtube videos and practicing so I can become proficient at this without too much blood loss! Now, about this razor: It comes with a case and small bag to carry it in. It appears well made and I have used it now for two weeks daily. I use a leather strop, which I also bought on Amazon, and it shaves well. However, right now I am still working on the sides of my face and not my neck or chin, yet! I like this razor with one exception: for me the handle is somewhat heavy and I think it impacts how I use the blade. In truth this may just be how I am holding the razor or just my personal dislike and no reflection on the razor itself. Overall, no complaints with the product and I gave it 4 stars because I am new to the straight razor community and probably need to learn more before making a more objective and knowledgeable review. I do like this razor and would recommend buying it. Hope this helps!
