Solid 7/8 "Razor carbon steel (non-stainless) - black plastic handle - with wooden case - for beginners

Straight razor blade

Shaving with a straight razor can be a familiar, comforting ritual or a frustrating experience with the ensuing nicks and cuts to the skin: it all depends on the sharpness of the blade. Just as a Michelin-starred chef only uses the highest quality knives in his work, you too should pay the closest possible attention to the quality of your tools. While a "Nirosta" kitchen knife can "only" boast a hardness of 54 Rockwell, the Japanese steel used in A.P. Donovan straight razors has a hardness of 59 Rockwell. Hardened in a process similar to that used in the well-known Shiro-Gami or white paper steel, this material is optimized for the manufacture an extremely sharp blade. In addition to the sharpness required for a perfect shave, this straight edge razor is a visual delight: the brushed steel of the blade gives the material a soft, matte effect. It's a masterly piece of understatement that subtly stands out from the crowd. A straight edge razor that is as reliable and as individual as you are. A.P. Donovan - the perfect address for men with style.
