Natural Wood Straight Shaving Razor

 (25 customer reviews)

For a 7 dollar Chinese knockoff, this razor looks pretty good. It was, of course, in no way remotely sharp enough to cut even twine, let alone facial hair.

DO NOT buy this razor to shave with. It won't work. Most razors use a type of high carbon steel, not stainless steel. Unless you have hundreds of dollars worth of specialized sharpening stones and several strops packed with paste, this razor isn't getting sharp enough to shave with.

This is, however, a great razor to practice straight edge shaving with. It also looks good sitting on the counter with the other razors. It would also make a reasonable boot razor if you were so inclined.

Overall, the fit and finish are impressive for a faux razor. It looks very pretty. I enjoy seeing it on my shaving counter and it's fun to throw in my boot and pretend I'm Beatrix Kiddo's right hand man. If you want a real razor though, look at the Dovo line.

I am new to straight razors. I am simply trying to trim my beard and mustache better than what electric clippers offer. This razor was extremely dull and difficult to handle. The rotation point was a little sloppy.

This razor looks very nice for it's price, but it is barley sharp enough. Also the pivot point on mine is a little off, it hits the right side when closing.
