If you want to feel a bit more weight in the blade while shaving, it makes a noticeable difference. This straight razor by Ralf Aust combines precise line control with a calm, stable glide – ideal if you want to improve your technique.

The Spanish point gives you the ability to work very precisely on contours. Together with the 6/8 inch blade width, the razor feels a bit more substantial in the hand than a 5/8 model and glides over the skin with more natural weight.

This creates a balanced feeling of control and smoothness – exactly what many appreciate about a classic shave.

Blade Material & Grind

The blade is made from high-quality carbon steel from Solingen. This steel allows for a very fine edge and can be easily sharpened when needed.

The full hollow grind provides slight flexibility to the blade and gives you direct feedback during shaving. This helps you gauge pressure and angle well.

Blade Shape & Width

The Spanish point is especially suitable for precise contours and clean lines. With its distinctive tip, you can work very accurately but should maintain a steady hand.

At 6/8 inch, the blade offers a bit more weight and stability than a 5/8 model. This ensures a smoother glide and makes shaving larger areas particularly comfortable.

Who is this straight razor suitable for?

• Advanced users who appreciate more stability in the blade
• Contour shavers who want to draw precise lines
• Beginners with some sense of technique
• Ideal for partial and full shaves

Handle Material

The olive wood handle impresses with its lively, natural grain. Each razor is visually unique and feels pleasantly warm in the hand.

At the same time, olive wood is robust and durable – perfect for daily use.

Usage

Hold the blade at a shallow angle over the prepared skin and work with calm, controlled strokes. Thanks to the slightly higher weight of the 6/8 blade, you can shave in a relaxed manner.

For contours, use the tip of the Spanish point precisely to shave exact lines.
