A Harrison Brothers and Howson straight razor from the 1800s. Still in great shape, this cutthroat still has a long life left with many more wonderful shaves to offer. The hollow grind will make for breezy work on those whiskers!
You are purchasing one of these razors from the 7 day set (Tuesday). Very interesting historically as the tang reads, "Cutlers to Her Majesty" and we can assume Her refers to Queen Victoria, very cool!

"Honing starts out on a Chosera 1000 Wet stone were I begin to set the bevel. Once the bevel outline is finished I move onto the Chosera 3000 where the bevel is cleaned up and refined. Next its on to the polishing stage which starts out on the Aishyama 6000 and moves to the naniwa 12000. After the 12k, a perfectly good shave can occur. But we like to take it one step further and finish with a high polish on the Suehiro Gokumyo 20000." Eric, Razor Miester. After honing, the blade is stropped, oiled, and arrives shave ready! Please do not strop this razor before your first shave.
