The finest of German vintage blades, adorned with polished German silver trademarks, ready for your everyday shave.
A very classy set of handles with unique, logo-bearing pieces at the end. The stamping on the shank is nice and deep with the trademark twins logo.
An outstanding blade full of charm, and will serve the owner with generations of highest-quality shaves, not to mention it’s a sound investment for the discerning collector.
The steel took a great polish, only slight age seen in very remote places, but with care this blade will hold a fine finish for ages, and will be shaving for many lifetimes.
A fit collectible, or daily shaver for the beginner.
This blade comes professionally honed, polished, and cleaned. I’ve honed this blade up to a 15,000 grit stone, using a blend of rare, naturally mined, vintage barber stones, and professional grade hones.
This razor has passed many high-standard edge and shave tests, and then washed with soap and warm water, bathed in disinfectant (Barbacide), and bathed in 90% isopropyl alcohol.
The razor is treated with a with a long-lasting moisture barrier to ensure rust resilience during use, and shipped with a light coat of antibacterial oil.
My goal is to get folks settled in a straight razor shaving. If you’re not 100% happy with the razor just send me a message.
A re-honing certificate is included with your purchase. Just mail us your razor with your receipt, and I’ll re-hone it for free.
Strop Kit Details:
A timeless strop design from 100% north american steerhide having a smooth grain, putting a fine polish to your razor edge, and keeping it true after shave.
An excellent mid to high grade leather, hand selected from heavy, 8-12 oz thick steer hide. The hide is vegetable tanned, dyed, and finished with a wax giving it a proud designation as “english bridle”. All strops I personally cut in-house to 2″ in width.
An great strop priced very economically, perfect for learning the “x-stroke” with your straight razor. If during stropping you do make a minor cut, the thick leather is forgiving, and small cuts can be sanded away without any compromise to the functionality.
This kit is all a starting straight shaver needs to maintain a razor for many smooth shaves.
