First let's talk about the blade on this sleek stainless steel straight razor, and then we'll discuss the handle.á The blade is made of the finest surgical ice tempered stainless steel to give you a rust and tarnish resistant razor for easier maintenance. Plus, the stainless steel blade holds a sharp edge longer than high carbon steel. The word 'INOX' etched in gold into the blade and the number 41 on the shank designate the stainless steel material.
These blades are individually handmade starting out as a forged blank and then tempered using intense heat and cold in a process called 'ice tempered.' Only a few master craftspeople are still available with the skill and knowledge to hand shape and grind the ice tempered blanks into the beautifully finished full hollow ground blades you see on this razor.
A satin finished stainless steel handle completes this exceptional razor and provides just enough texture for a secure grip. This is truly as close as you can get to a maintenance free traditional straight razor. You might say it's an old world favorite with modern charm.
