FREE Starke German Blades X 5

The handle is a brilliant design. The blade is 6/8" wide. Imported directly from India with Japan STEEL.
The carbon steel blade has these advantages: the edge is easier to sharpen and the blade generally holds an edge better. However, if not dried properly, or if it is exposed to humidity or dampness, a carbon blade will rust.

The blade of your straight razor has a very fine and vulnerable cutting edge. Cutting other materials than beard hair may damage or destroy it. Careful stropping of the blade before shaving maintains the blade's cutting ability for several months, but too much pressure on the strop can damage the fine cutting edge. After use, the blade and handle have to be cleaned and dried carefully. In the case of long term storage, the blade should be lubricated and entirely covered by oil.
