Available is a 5/8" W. Taylor Straight Razor w/ Custom Wood Scales. Razor originates from Sheffield, England, home of the world-renowned straight razor craftsmen. Custom wood scales were crafted specifically for this beauty of a blade, and have a clear wedge adding a nice modern touch to this vintage razor. This blade is ground with a spike point tip, making it an accurate shaver, more-so than a round point.  This would make a good starter straight razor for someone getting into wet-shaving, or a nice option for a seasoned veteran.

This straight razor makes for a great razor because of its large size and comfortable shave provided. Razor has been restored, cleaned, and sanitized making it Shave Ready for your shaving pleasure. Ground with a wedge grind, this will plow down stubble with no trouble. Blade has a beautiful mirror finish, and has been highly buffed to perfection. Truly a masterpiece!

Restoration: This razor went through our complete Revamp service. It was first polished to a near mirror finish, removing all active rust and as much metal as was safe for this grind. The scales were also polished to give a high luster. The blade then went through our True Honing process, utilizing stones such as a Naniwa Chosera 10k, Belgian Yellow Coticule and Shapton 30k to give this straight razor the perfect edge. It arrives to you stropped and shave ready.
