Damascus Steel Straight Razor, 75 mm Blade, 264-Layer Swirl Pattern

This straight razor is forged from 1095 and 15N20 Damascus steel, creating a distinctive swirl pattern across the blade. The steel is layered 264 times and hardened to HRC 58-60, providing a durable edge that holds its sharpness through repeated use. The blade is hand-sharpened before dispatch.

With an overall open length of 241 mm (9.5 inches), the razor provides substantial reach and balance. The blade itself has a 75 mm cutting edge and a robust 4 mm spine, paired with a dark brown handle. To maintain its keen edge, the blade will require regular honing and stropping (strop not included).

Ideal for barbers and grooming enthusiasts seeking the precision of a traditional wet shave. Also suitable for detailed beard and hairline shaping.

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.
