LAGIPAStraight Razor Shaving Kit with Strop - Shave Ready Vintage Straight Edge Razor for Men, Barber Razor Blade, Mens Shaving Knife, Classic Reusable Razor, Wood Handle, Carbon Steel

Great customer service. I have been using straight razors for 40 years and I expected it to be razor sharp but it could not be sharpened adequately with just the strop. So I gave it a poor review. I was going to send it back or contact the seller but before I did, within a single day, the seller contacted me and made things right.Another nice thing: I like the look and feel of the wooden scales (handle). The thickness is tapered on both ends causing a nice wood grain pattern to be revealed. Very nice looking for an inexpensive razor.

I didn’t expect it to have a perfectly shared edge, but at least one that can be cleaned up with the strip. Not this blade. No amount of sharpening with a diamond stone will give it a good edge. After a few months in the drawer I took it out to give it auteur try and it was already showing signs of rust, not in the blade but on the spine.Avoid this razor.

This needs to be honed quite a lot before use. The strop that comes with it is short and cheap but expected that. I still ended up spending more for a Dovo and it was worth it.. I'd say it's not good for beginners like some reviews claim just for the fact that you will need to have honing skills from the start..

good product and works well

Out of the box it was sharp enough to shave. After one stroke it dulled to the point that it wouldn’t cut any longer. I used the strop and got the edge back and again, one stroke to dull. I had to finish with a safety razor and am very disappointed
