Damascus Steel Straight Razor, 70mm Blade, with Bull Horn Handle

A traditional straight razor forged from high-carbon Damascus steel. The blade combines 264 layers of 1095 and 15n20 steel, hardened to HRC 58-60. This construction provides a resilient and sharp edge, revealed in the distinctive swirl pattern of the steel.

The handle is shaped from genuine bull horn, meaning each piece has a unique colour and pattern. With a 70 mm blade and a total open length of 248 mm (9.75"), it offers substantial control for precise work. Please note, the blade is supplied ready for final honing on a strop before its first use.

Primarily designed for traditional wet shaving, this razor is also suitable for other tasks requiring a surgically sharp edge, such as leather skiving, pattern cutting, or precise marking on soft materials.

Specifications

Before you order

Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.

Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.

Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.

Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
