A.P. Donovan - Excellent 7/8" Straight Razor (Black)

Description

Straight razor blade The sharpness of a straight razor blade is largely dependent on the quality of the steel used. It's a simple formula that means that, the harder the steel, the sharper the blade can be. The blade in this razor uses Japanese steel, similar to the well-known Shiro-Gami or white paper steel. Japan is the home of Samurai swords and exquisite kitchen knives, with thousands of years of experience in tempering steel that make extraordinarily sharp razor blades possible. A part of this tradition finds its way into every one of our straight razors. With a hardness of 59 Rockwell, the steel used in the blade of this razor can be sharpened to a particularly high degree, which is the most fundamental factor in obtaining a close yet gentle shave. The blade's mirror finish emphasizes the exclusive overall effect of this straight razor. Treat yourself, and your skin, to a manly shave with a high quality product from A.P. Donovan. Handle Safe and comfortable control of a straight razor depends on the right material in the handle. Maintaining a balance between the weight of the steel blade and the handle requires a hand grip made from a sufficiently heavy material. The black sandalwood used in the handle of this straight razor is sourced from the forests of India and is characterized by its weight and exceptional hardness. The intricate craftsmanship creates a fascinating interplay between the materials of the wooden grip and the steel blade. Sometimes the end result is more than just the sum of its parts. Emphasize your individual style with the manly experience of a perfect shave. With A.P. Donovan's range of male grooming products, you have everything under control. Wooden case Every A.P.
