Each razor comes with its own moisture wicking merino wool sheath and is packaged in an elegant veneer cherry wood Parker gift box with care instructions. Blade type: 6/8 quarter-hollow ground - Square Point - with jimps on the inside edge of the blade's tang for extra grip and control while shaving. Straight Razors are like fine cutlery.

What a blade!
First, the seller, Super Safety Razors, has been excellent to deal with. A small issue arose on the razor, and they were super-professional, researching answers with the manufacturer and getting back promptly.Now, on the razor. It's a beautiful instrument, and what an edge! It strops quickly and cleanly.Wipe it clean and dry after every use. The finish is somewhat delicate and sensitive to standing moisture. It's high quality carbon steel, not stainless. But you will feel its superior shave.Super Safety will share manufacturer's guidance about caring for it.I last had a straight razor as a young teenager, buying a German Henckels in a tobacco-curiosity shop.Two tips: respect and go sloooowly. The 6/8 is wider than others, so adjust accordingly. You will get much better the 2nd shave. Watch Lynn Abrams how to straight razor shave videos on youtube.I liked the quarter hollow grind. There is more "meat" on the blade for longevity and continued service.There's another youtube video that explains the various grindings and full vs. half vs. quarter hollow.Enjoy and go slow at first. Don't be afraid to strop 2 or 3 times while shaving.
