Straight Razor with 75 mm Damascus Steel Blade, Blue-Handled
This straight razor provides a precise, traditional shave. The blade is crafted from 264 layers of 1095 and 15N20 Damascus steel, folded and forged to create a distinctive swirl pattern. The steel is hardened to HRC 58-60, ensuring it holds a keen edge.
With a 75 mm cutting edge and a substantial 4 mm thickness, the blade offers excellent control. The razor has an overall open length of 241 mm (9.5 inches) and is balanced by a solid, dark blue handle. Please note, the blade will require honing on a strop before its first use (strop not included).
Primarily used for:
• Professional barbering and close shaving
• Traditional wet shaving routines
• Collection and display

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.
