Who is this straight razor suitable for?

• Beginners looking for a razor that is easy to control
• Contour shavers who want to create clean lines

Blade Material & Grind

The blade is made from high-quality carbon steel, traditionally used in Solingen. This material can be honed to a very fine edge and achieves exceptional sharpness – ideal for a precise and thorough shave.

The razor is ground full hollow. This makes the blade especially flexible and provides direct feedback during shaving. You feel exactly what you are doing – ensuring control and a clean result.

Handle Material

The rosewood handle offers a warm, natural look and feels comfortable in the hand. Each handle has a unique grain, making every razor a small one-of-a-kind piece.

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

Usage

Hold the razor at a shallow angle against well-prepared skin. Short, controlled strokes will give you the best results – especially during your first uses.

For clean contours, you can use the tip precisely to shave exact lines.
