Cut Throat Razor Kit with Travel Pouch - Black & Gold Stainless Steel Professional Barber Single Straight Edge for Men - Moustache Shaver & Beard Shaper

The Cambridge cut throat has a solid build, looks stylish, and feels good in the hand and the shave quality is amazing, skin is smooth as a babies backside after I finishing shaving with it and face feels really clean and fresh. Comes with a pouch to store and transport the razor in. I have used regular razors all of my shaving life, starting with the old disposable bic razors, moving up to a Mach3 (3 blades) and then a Hydro (5 blades) and watching as I pay more and more money for the cartridges as well as slowing coming to understand the waste stream that I generate when I throw away the cartridges after use as they cannot be recycled and simply go to the landfill (think about how many men and women use these to remove body hair and you start to get an idea of the problem). So I tentatively approached the straight razor both from a money saving exercise (razor blades are cheap compared to the cartridges) and from a sustainability point of view (nothing goes to the landfill) as at first glance, it would appear to be fiendishly difficult to do, with significant scope for a visit to the hospital with a cut throat... However, having now used it for two weeks, I can say that the marketing messages used for cartridge type razors (more blades are better, each successive blade shaves a little bit closer, moisturises your face as you shave, etc.) are a load of hooey. One blade is all you need. Period. A couple of things to understand here if you are reading this and considering a straight razor: 1. Snapping razor blades in half and inserting into the handle can be difficult at first and should never be attempted with wet fingers. 2. Budget 15 minutes to have a shave, you need time to do it properly, try and rush and you will regret it. 3. You will cut yourself when you first start using it, as using a straight razor requires more attention and skill than using a cartridge type razor. 4. STICK WITH IT, as you slowly acquire the fine motor skills to use the razor, you will cut yourself less and less. 5. when you start, the problem areas are anywhere on your face that has an angle (jaw line and right under your nose). Using a straight razor as a beginner should ideally only be attempted after a strong cup of coffee in the morning and never when hung over. A few weeks in and I am getting much better at this, admittedly, still have a problem getting to the hairs right under my nose (nick myself once every two days or so), but it has improved dramatically since when I first started (multiple cuts on face, ridicule from my peers) and now wonder why I didn't make the switch sooner. Last but by no means least, you can buy 100 razor blades for around ten quid from Amazon, which gives you 200 blades to use (remember you snap them in half) which covers your shaving needs for up to four years (assuming one new blade every week), compared to spending twenty two quid for 8 cartridges that last two months. so basically, you are looking at around 5 pence per razor blade compared to 3 quid per cartridge, for a better quality shave. Yes, it takes longer to shave, but I have come to enjoy the morning ritual, from a cost perspective, its a no brainer.

One of the best razors I’ve used comes with a really nice case and very high-quality the blades fit in perfectly and it’s very economically nice to hold also doesn’t stain

This razor is very good value, but I have a few concerns that make using it a little tougher than it should be. The razor features a a split spine that separates to reveal the mounting position for fresh blades, and a fold over clasp that grips the spine, to hold it in place. This is where one of the issues I have is found. If you need to undo the clasp in order to change the blade, it can be very stiff. If there is already a blade inside, then pulling firmly on the clasp to undo it must be done with extreme care, else it suddenly slip open causing you to move the exposed blade quickly in the other direction - potentially into your hand. It's easily avoided if you take care however. The other issue I have is with the position of the blade itself, within the spine. Once installed, it's almost entirely covered. It still works, but leaves slightly less blade exposed than I would like, leading to faster clogging and the need for more frequent cleaning. Despite these shortfalls, I still find this to be an exceptional razor for the money. It's well made, comes with a well made, premium feeling leather case and makes for a very good shave. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to start, or continue, their cut throat shaving journey, with a low budget.

Looks like it’s quality. Will find out once I’ve used it. The only thing I will say is it doesn’t come with the blades so you’ll need to order separately

great and inexpensive razor, to start a new life skill journey! love using it and extremely well made.

How do I get blades for it ,it didn't come with any ?

Very comfortable. The razor is quite easy to hold once you know how to. I have cut myself a few times but due to my own inexperience rather than product error. Cambridge Cutthroat has a few tutorials on their website which are helpful to learn. This is great value for money. Beginners should definitely consider using this to learn as it is very well built and durable. Just remember this does not include the razor blade! If you’re struggling to find a single edge blade, you can find a double edge blade and just snap it in half, it’s what I did and works just as well as a regular single blade!

Poor quality

Très belle qualité. Finition soignée. Livré avec plusieurs lames de rechange.

Absolutely great, I’m very happy with it. Looks and feels good, it’s quite heavy and feels much more expensive than it is. Good ergonomics. I tested the blade on my BESS sharpness tester, it came out 34 grams, 50 is a typical razor blade. I always shave with a regular cutthroat razor that I sharpen, hone and strop myself, but sometimes I don’t have the time for that. So this is a perfect supplement I think.

Perfetto, propio come in descrizione! Molto bello!!

This shaving kit is great quality for the price. The razor feels sturdy and well-balanced, making shaving smooth and precise. The included blades are sharp and give a clean cut without irritation. It also comes with a nice case that keeps everything organized. Perfect for beginners or anyone who enjoys a traditional shave.

I don't like the product. A fixed was my choice.
