Common Questions
Does this straight razor arrive shave-ready?
While the factory edge is sharp, traditional straight razors generally require a light stropping on a leather strop before their first official use to realign the micro-edge for comfortable facial shaving.
How do you maintain a wood-handled straight razor?
Because it is exposed to water during grooming, always thoroughly wipe down the stainless steel blade and dry the wood handle scales completely after use. Storing it in a dry space outside of a damp shower environment prevents the wood from weathering.
Is this a disposable blade razor or a fixed blade?
This is a traditional fixed-blade straight razor, meaning it does not use disposable snap-blades (shavettes). You sharpen and hone the existing steel edge over time, making it a sustainable, long-lasting grooming tool.
