The Ritual
Freehand shaving is a gesture that requires precision and awareness. A ritual handed down through the ages, where every movement restores a slower, more intentional dimension to personal care. The blade glides with absolute control, following the contours of the face with impeccable accuracy and transforming a daily routine into a moment of genuine focus. Designed for those with advanced shaving experience, this razor reinterprets the tradition of classic barbering, returning it to its most rigorous and refined essence.
The Barbers’ Advice
Every step, from blade preparation to final maintenance, contributes to preserving both shaving quality and skin comfort.
- Begin by stropping the blade on a leather strop to realign the edge before shaving.
- After applying shaving soap or oil, stretch the skin gently and hold the blade at approximately a 30° angle, shaving first with the grain and then against it if desired.
- After use, rinse the blade with warm water, dry thoroughly, and store it open until completely dry. Wait at least 48 hours between shaves and apply acid-free oil during prolonged periods of non-use.
The Design
The 5/8-inch blade offers exceptional maneuverability, ideal for shaping and defining the beard with precision. Its rounded tip ensures a safer, more comfortable shave, while the deep hollow grind provides flexibility and control.
The handle, crafted from Carrara Chocolate acetate in Eredi Zucca’s signature tones, gives the razor a distinctive character. Produced in Solingen, Germany, it is intended for those experienced in traditional straight razor shaving.
