The
concave or hollow ground razors have been the gentleman's choice since the
mid-18th century. I own a number of 19th century razors and, in
many
cases, their
differences to modern design are slight. The blades on several are
almost identical to this one.
When
it comes to modern razors, you can find more expensive scales, but this is
the best functional blade you can buy for the price. With proper care, it will last you
a lifetime. It holds an edge as well as razors costing four times as much.
The olivewood scales are elegant in their simplicity and match our olivewood
handled shaving brush.
When you consider the cost of modern razors and the monthly expense of
disposable blades, this razor will pay for itself in no time.
