Cut Throat Razor Kit Black and Gold & Stainless Steel Professional Barber Razor, Premium Single Blade Straight Edge, Moustache & Beard Shaper, Travel Pouch Included

The Cambridge cut throat has a solid build, looks stylish, and feels good in the hand and the shave quality is amazing, skin is smooth as a babies backside after I finishing shaving with it and face feels really clean and fresh. Comes with a pouch to store and transport the razor in. I have used regular razors all of my shaving life, starting with the old disposable bic razors, moving up to a Mach3 (3 blades) and then a Hydro (5 blades) and watching as I pay more and more money for the cartridges as well as slowing coming to understand the waste stream that I generate when I throw away the cartridges after use as they cannot be recycled and simply go to the landfill (think about how many men and women use these to remove body hair and you start to get an idea of the problem). So I tentatively approached the straight razor both from a money saving exercise (razor blades are cheap compared to the cartridges) and from a sustainability point of view (nothing goes to the landfill) as at first glance, it would appear to be fiendishly difficult to do, with significant scope for a visit to the hospital with a cut throat... However, having now used it for two weeks, I can say that the marketing messages used for cartridge type razors (more blades are better, each successive blade shaves a little bit closer, moisturises your face as you shave, etc.) are a load of hooey. One blade is all you need. Period. A couple of things to understand here if you are reading this and considering a straight razor: 1. Snapping razor blades in half and inserting into the handle can be difficult at first and should never be attempted with wet fingers. 2. Budget 15 minutes to have a shave, you need time to do it properly, try and rush and you will regret it. 3. You will cut yourself when you first start using it, as using a straight razor requires more attention and skill than using a cartridge type razor. 4. STICK WITH IT, as you slowly acquire the fine motor skills to use the razor, you will cut yourself less and less. 5. when you start, the problem areas are anywhere on your face that has an angle (jaw line and right under your nose). Using a straight razor as a beginner should ideally only be attempted after a strong cup of coffee in the morning and never when hung over. A few weeks in and I am getting much better at this, admittedly, still have a problem getting to the hairs right under my nose (nick myself once every two days or so), but it has improved dramatically since when I first started (multiple cuts on face, ridicule from my peers) and now wonder why I didn't make the switch sooner. Last but by no means least, you can buy 100 razor blades for around ten quid from Amazon, which gives you 200 blades to use (remember you snap them in half) which covers your shaving needs for up to four years (assuming one new blade every week), compared to spending twenty two quid for 8 cartridges that last two months. so basically, you are looking at around 5 pence per razor blade compared to 3 quid per cartridge, for a better quality shave. Yes, it takes longer to shave, but I have come to enjoy the morning ritual, from a cost perspective, its a no brainer.

Solid razor. Better than my previous one. Includes a nice pouch.

This razor is very good value, but I have a few concerns that make using it a little tougher than it should be. The razor features a a split spine that separates to reveal the mounting position for fresh blades, and a fold over clasp that grips the spine, to hold it in place. This is where one of the issues I have is found. If you need to undo the clasp in order to change the blade, it can be very stiff. If there is already a blade inside, then pulling firmly on the clasp to undo it must be done with extreme care, else it suddenly slip open causing you to move the exposed blade quickly in the other direction - potentially into your hand. It's easily avoided if you take care however. The other issue I have is with the position of the blade itself, within the spine. Once installed, it's almost entirely covered. It still works, but leaves slightly less blade exposed than I would like, leading to faster clogging and the need for more frequent cleaning. Despite these shortfalls, I still find this to be an exceptional razor for the money. It's well made, comes with a well made, premium feeling leather case and makes for a very good shave. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to start, or continue, their cut throat shaving journey, with a low budget.

One of the best razors I’ve used comes with a really nice case and very high-quality the blades fit in perfectly and it’s very economically nice to hold also doesn’t stain

I have not used the razor yet, but it looks good and nice to own. I've just got to take it out for a ride to see how it feels...

First timer user I ordered it to shape my beard lines on cheeks and on neck. I’m very impressed with the razor. First time using find it really easy to use and didn’t even cut myself bonus!! I did get a few tips of how to do offline. Would recommend if you want to make your beard lines looking sharp.

Looks like it’s quality. Will find out once I’ve used it. The only thing I will say is it doesn’t come with the blades so you’ll need to order separately

The product I received does not match the listing images. The wooden handle in the photos appears polished and glossy, but in reality, it is dull and looks poorly finished. This is misleading, as the visual quality is a key part of the product. While it may function, it does not meet expectations based on the listing. See attached photos for comparison.

Very happy with the product! Nice stylish handle and easy to understand. Definitely worth the money

Absolutely great, I’m very happy with it. Looks and feels good, it’s quite heavy and feels much more expensive than it is. Good ergonomics. I tested the blade on my BESS sharpness tester, it came out 34 grams, 50 is a typical razor blade. I always shave with a regular cutthroat razor that I sharpen, hone and strop myself, but sometimes I don’t have the time for that. So this is a perfect supplement I think.

I was skeptical at first, but the price and quality are perfect. I recommend this to everyone! I bought it as a set with a holder and blades. Note: Derby blades are very sharp and won't rust. be careful!

Il rasoio è confezionato in una custodia elegante e raffinata. Si apprezza la dotazione di dieci lame già pronte per l’inserimento. L’immagine rappresentativa potrebbe generare un’aspettativa fuorviante, in quanto non chiarisce che non viene fornita l’intera confezione, bensì una quantità limitata di lame. Viene indicato solo nel titolo del prodotto, quindi chi legge con fretta potrebbe trovarsi in difficoltà dopo. Superata questa iniziale fase di disillusione, l’estetica del rasoio risulta particolarmente curata e la sua robustezza è percepibile. L’apertura del vano per la lama è agevole, tuttavia è necessario prestare attenzione per evitare tagli durante l’apertura del blocco intermedio e durante l’inserimento della lama. Un aspetto negativo rilevato è l’intenso odore, simile a quello del petrolio, emanato dalla custodia in ecopelle. È stato necessario esporre la custodia all’aria aperta per eliminare l’odore persistente di petrolio impregnato nel fodero. Si raccomanda, inoltre, di disinfettare accuratamente manico, fessure in acciaio e lama prima di utilizzarli sulla pelle.
