Straight Razors

For those of you that appreciate the artfulness of simple tasks such as shaving, I am now offering forged straight razors. I make two styles of razors. The typical Western-style folding razor and the Japanese-style Kamisori razor. The Western-style razors are hollow ground and the blade folds into the handle when not in use. Handle materials can be wood, bone, antler, or micarta with silver, copper, or iron fittings. The Kamisori razor is a simply beautiful style of razor introduced to Japan by Buddhist monks hundreds of years ago. It is a one-piece construction with a cord-wrapped tang. For now, I will add razors to this page as I make them but if you have something specific in mind please drop me a line and I would be happy to design one with you.
