In recent years, the double edge safety razor has seen a resurgence in popularity. Double edge safety razors offer many benefits including up to 70% cost savings over cartridges, an extremely close shave and an enjoyable traditional shave experience. Superbly balanced with just the right amount of heft, our Classic Safety Razor Kit features solid brass components throughout and a full size handle. It accepts all standard double edge shaving blades and is compatible with our Classic Razor Stand.
The exclusive threaded rod design allows you to easily disassemble the handle as needed for cleaning or refinishing. Turning is done on a standard pen mandrel using a set of bushings (sold separately).
Pay particular attention to the finish, using only waterproof or at least water-repellent oils or paints. The user will get many years of pleasure from this set. It’s also a good idea to glue the sleeve with waterproof epoxy or polyurethane adhesive.
