Cut Throat & Shavette Razors

We have a great selection of the world’s finest traditional straight razors and disposabel blade straight razors from such noted manufacturers as Thiers-Issard, Feather of Japan and Parker.
The craftsmanship and skill required to create this type of a traditional straight razor is exceptional. The fine detailing on the blades and handles of these razors make them heirlooms that can be passed from one generation to the next. The blade of a straight shaving razor is made of steel, the handles of a traditional straight razor are usually made from wood, rubber, horn or ivory.

Straight razors are also known by varying names such as cut throat razors, open razors and traditional straight razors. Shaving with a straight razor requires a skilled shaving technique and is still argued by most traditionalists that this style of shaving is "The only way to shave".
