Damascus Steel Straight Razor with 70 mm Blade and Camel Bone Handle
This straight razor is forged from 264 layers of 1095 and 15N20 steel, creating a distinctive swirl-patterned Damascus blade. The 70 mm blade is hardened to HRC 58-60, providing excellent edge retention after honing. The handle is crafted from polished camel bone, offering a classic aesthetic and balanced feel.
Designed for the traditional wet shave, this cut-throat razor provides a close, precise result. The blade is supplied with a factory edge and will require honing on a strop (not included) to achieve a shave-ready condition. Its 4.5 mm thick spine provides rigidity and control during use. Ideal for barbers, shaving enthusiasts, or anyone seeking the precision of a traditional shave.

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.
