This replaceable blade straight razor from Shaving Factory was created for professional barbers, offering some features found only in high end fixed blade straight razors, like stainless steel (not aluminum) arm. Designed primarily for shaving the face (not hair trimming), the head of the arm is shaped like a fixed blade straight razor. Other notable features are: rounded point to minimize cuts, guide pins to insure correct blade insertion, and a snap close blade holder along with arm clip to secure blade compartment. Razor weighs 2.3 ounces, has a slim matte stainless steel handle, and accepts 1/2 of a double edge blade (any brand) ... yes, these blades can be easily and safely snapped in half. Ideal for the first time straight razor user, presenting an economical introduction to straight razor shaving by eliminating the purchase of an expensive fixed blade razor plus all the required accessories (strop, strop paste, honing stone, razor oil). It also eliminates the need to learn how to use a strop and how to properly sharpen a straight razor. Does not come with replacement blades, so be certain to order them (we recommend Derby Stainless Steel Straight Razor Half Blades). $9.99
