Also carbon steel for a strong edge that will need less maintenance than the other metals. The style of this most elegant of razors Is a spike or square point.

The markings are representative of the Duchy of Bergischer which Is a southern German region and ancient house of aristocracy. The handle Is buffalo horn so colors will vary as this Is a natural material. Pressed and then polished several times to bring out the swirls and deep shades.

Being a straight razor you will need a strop, at Edwards traditional shaving we would recommend the Dovo strop which we have Included a link too. Stropping method wise, we suggest a 8 strokes on canvas to 8 strokes on leather. Also finishing on leather Is Important.
