Boker Master Cutter Damascus 8/8 Straight Razor "Shave Ready"

A long-cherished wish has finally come true with the Boker Master Cutter Damascus: an 8/8 inch wide dream made of damascus. Even though a lot of time has passed until the forging of the first blank, the efforts have been worthwhile. The mighty blade with serration on both sides is equipped with a Barber's Notch and is of course sharpened extra hollow with ridge on complex tone. The bulbous handle made of desert ironwood is, unlike all the other razors in our range, not classically riveted, but rather screwed together decoratively. Desert ironwood is relatively heavy, very hard and extremely tenacious. Because of these characteristics it is difficult to work with, but at the same time it is also particularly durable and weatherproof, which makes it an ideal material for razor handles. To match the Barber's Notch of the blade, the handle has a recess towards the tip of the blade. This allows a clear view of the decorative intermediate piece, which is also made of damascus in this extraordinary model. With authentic Boker laser engraving in the blade passage, certificate of authenticity and elegant floating display. Handmade in the Boker knife manufactory Solingen.

Like any other razor sold by The Classic Edge Shaving Store, this razor is professionally honed to "shave ready" by Phil. This $25 Value is our way of showing you that we are willing to take our Customer Service to the next level. After all, nothing is worse than buying a Straight Razor as a gift for a loved one, only for them to open the box and realize that they now have to send it away to be sharpened before they can use it. Also included is a free follow up honing that can be used once your razor is in need of a fresh edge.

Please allow a minimum of at least 2-3 business days for us to prepare your Straight Razor, as this is not a product that you buy just anywhere. It needs special attention to detail as it will come in contact with your skin, and must be sanitized and polished before being coated with Renaissance Wax. This careful and considerate attention to each razor is the difference between a shaving store that will rush your razor out the next morning, and our own Artisan-owned shaving store that is nothing less than extreme when it comes to making their clients 100% satisfied. It's our job to ensure that your experience is perfect. We cannot thank you enough for visiting our website, and we hope you have a great day.

Note: When you receive the razor for the first time, carefully take it out of the box and remove the oil with a piece of tissue. The razor has already been stropped and it completely "Shave Ready", so go ahead and shave! You will get 2 shaves before needing to strop (depending on how aggressive your beard growth is. Each time you have used your razor, rinse the blade with hot tap water. Carefully and thoroughly dry the blade and in between the scales with a piece of tissue paper before you close it. We recommend to oil your razor after every use. To maintain a sharp cutting edge, strop regularly prior to shaving.
