Straight razors: traditional, precise and durable shaving
The straight razor delivers an ultra-close shave that’s gentle on the skin and economical in consumables. Whether you’re a beginner or an enthusiast, choose your blade according to your skin, beard, and experience level.
How to choose your straight razor
Blade width
- 5/8: versatile, recommended for beginners.
- 6/8: a bit more rigidity and inertia, comfortable on tough beards.
- 7/8 and above: very covering, better for experienced users.
Grind type
- Full hollow (1/1): very thin and “singing,” highly tactile feedback.
- Half hollow (1/2): a balance of flexibility and rigidity.
- Quarter/near wedge: stiffer, forgiving on very coarse beards.
Point shape
- Round: the safest for starting out.
- Square/straight: precise for outlines; requires more attention.
- French/Spanish: stylish, great visibility in tight areas.
Steel & scales (handle) materials
- Stainless: simpler upkeep, good corrosion resistance.
- Carbon steel: takes a very fine edge; needs meticulous drying.
- Scales: wood, horn, or composites (balance, grip, style).
Care & safety
Before each shave: stropping
Strop on leather (20–40 passes) to realign the edge. A green compound strop can help occasionally—use sparingly.
After shaving
- Rinse with lukewarm water and dry thoroughly without touching the edge.
- Apply a tiny drop of oil if you won’t use the razor regularly.
- Store dry, blade closed and protected (pouch/case).
Honing (stone)
Plan it when stropping no longer restores sharpness (rare if care is regular). If unsure, entrust it to a workshop.
Technique & angles
- Approx. 30° angle, taut skin, short strokes without pressure.
- Start with the grain, then across/against as your skin tolerates.
Useful accessories
- Shaving brush & soap/cream: prepare and soften the beard.
- Bowl: helps build a dense, protective lather.
- Case/box: protects the blade when travelling — see Sheaths & Accessories.
- Leather strop: essential to maintain the edge day to day.
- Razor paddle stops
- Razor paddle strop-it
- Soap shaving brush
- Display box and sheat
- Collection boxes
- Spare parts
FAQ – Straight razors
Can a beginner use a straight razor?
Yes—choose a 5/8 blade with a round point and take time to learn the basics (stropping, angles, prep).
Stainless or carbon steel?
Stainless: easier maintenance. Carbon: ultra-fine edge; requires rigorous drying and a light oiling.
How often should I strop?
Before each shave: a few dozen passes on leather are enough. Honing on a stone is infrequent.

Do you offer gift sets?
