Designed for those with advanced shaving experience, this razor interprets the tradition of classic barbering, restoring it to its most rigorous and refined essence.
The Barbers’ Advice
A high-quality freehand razor requires precise movements and constant care. Only in this way can its sharpness, precision, and beauty be preserved over time.
- Before each shave, prepare the blade edge with a few strokes on a leather strop.
- After applying shaving soap or oil, gently stretch the skin and use the razor at an angle of approximately 30°.
- Begin by following the direction of hair growth and, if necessary, proceed against the grain for a closer shave.
- When finished, rinse the blade with warm water, dry it thoroughly, and store the razor open until completely dry.
- Wait at least 48 hours before the next use to allow the edge to realign naturally.
- In case of prolonged disuse, apply a small amount of acid-free oil to protect the steel.
The Design
Designed for those who have already gained significant experience in traditional shaving and desire a tool that combines precision, balance, and character. The 6/8" concave blade with a Spanish point offers exceptional control, ideal for shaping the beard with absolute precision and accurately finishing even the finest details. Forged in Solingen, Germany, it is made of 1.2510 carbon steel, an alloy prized for its high sharpenability and cutting quality.
