Description: Technic Straight Razor with combines simplicity and elegance in this high performing carbon steel razor. This razor has a 5/8" extra full hollow ground ice-hardened carbon steel blade with gold details. The blade features a high polish which helps to close the pores in the steel and imparts limited oxidation resistance. The carbon steel blade must be rinsed and dried completely after each use to prevent rusting, but rewards with an exceptionally keen and long lasting edge. We recommend using camellia oil for easy maintenance.

A 5/8" blade is the perfect balance point between being a large enough blade to easily slice through thick, coarse hair while being small enough to shave under your nose or around your ears without a mishap. This also makes it a perfect beginning straight razor, which lets you decide if you will prefer a slightly longer or shorter razor in the future.

This is an extra full hollow ground razor, sometimes referred to as the 'singing' razor because it emits a 'note' when you pluck the edge with your finger. Many straight razor enthusiasts find that thin, singing blades provide the closest, most comfortable shaves. This razor is Technic’s thinnest grind.

The handle is crafted from natural wood prized for its zebra-like contrasting bold figure. The handle will protect the blade during storage and offers a nice balance to the blade during use.
