Hart Steel 5/8 Straight Razor, Satin Finish, Round Point

Newbie to straight razors

Great. Nicked myself a bit the first time I used it, but not badly, after I took a shower they were gone. It was easier to get a hang of it than I thought it would be. I watched a couple videos before I decided to buy a straight razor, and that helped a lot. It was easier than I expected to hold the blade at the correct angle for more areas. One of the videos recommended starting with the easy spots (cheeks) and moving on to the harder ones, which is what I’ve been doing. Yesterday I shaved everywhere except under my chin with the Hart, had maybe one nick, if that. I had been thinking about trying a straight razor for a long time, only regret is that I didn’t buy one sooner. Nice, close shave and there’s something very satisfying about shaving with a straight razor. This Hart razor appears well made and is easy to handle. It is the only straight razor I’ve tried, but I’m thoroughly happy with it.

Hart 5/8 quarter ground razor.

Ordered it already honed and out of the box it was the best shave I’ve ever had with a straight razor. These folks know their stuff and offer a quality product.

What a smooth shave!

This razor was a pleasure to shave with. You folks did a great job honing it for me and I couldn't be more pleased with the way the razor performed.
