Compatible straight razor kit

This is a really nice straight razor. It has a beautiful wooden handle and a very nice blade. The first shave I did not strop it and the shave was... uncomfortable. Before the next shave I stropped it really well. The shave was much more comfortable and one of the best looking shaves I’ve ever gotten.

This straight razor comes sharpen enough to cut hairs on your arm but not sharp enough for facial hair. You must purchase a whetstone and then you'll be in business. I am very happy with this set.

Good starter straight edge (coming from someone with no prior straight edge or safety razor experience). Make sure to strop the blade every few uses to keep the blade sharp and do some research on how to properly strop and care for the blade. That said, it would be nice if the handle had some nonslip grips for when the handle gets wet. Be careful, this blade is sharp and can cut your hairs and hands.I'm not sure if the pictures show it, but there is a logo embossed on one edge of the blade. Not a deal breaker but mildly annoying..First few shaves will result in some knicks so make sure to use an antibiotic or topical application after.

Affordable and super sharp. I used to use a more modern style, but now that I use this old-fashioned style razor, I cut myself way FEWER times. Shaving with this requires 1000% focus! I feel super manly after putting an insanely sharp object up against my skin every other morning. I am reminded that I am alive! Also, I liked reading about the founder’s story of this brand. The strop is good to use also, keeping the blade’s razor edge. Since I have a beard I like to regulate, this style of razor gives me a level of precision shaving that I have not had before.

After initial inspection/use of the razor I am disappointed with the quality of the razor!

Blade isn't sharp enough to cut hair.I tried every angle with all types of prepping my face with foams and creams.Still wouldn't cut.I took a brand new razor blade from a pack and tried to shave with similar motions to double check that it just wasn't my technique that was trash and I could cut the hair with the razor blade.Another reviewer said he had the same issue and took it to a barber and they said the blade was trash.I'm planning on going to a barber also for their opinion.

**** came with everything I need, 10/10. 🔥 been using it for months, I can shave my head with it now, I have new shaving skills!

All the way through from the first-class packaging to the finely-honed stainless steel blade, the top quality leather razor strap, to the classy metal carrying tin... this set-up is world-class shaving sophistication for a very modest investment! Nicely done, indeed!G. Robertson
