DOVO "Black Star" Straight Razor, 5/8
This "Black Star" model's Rich Red Pakkawood handle is Permanently Sealed against moisture. The innate beauty of nature is the crowning glory of this Handsome Razor.
The razor's blade is forged into a High Carbon Steel blank that is then Tempered by Both Fire and Ice. The blade takes shape in the hands of a Master Craftsman who shapes and grinds the blank into a semi-finished 5/8 Full Hollow Ground blade. The blade's finishing includes: Custom File Work to create the Jimps on the shank's lower edge; Decorative Gold Filled Brand Stamps on the front and rear of the shank; Polishing to a mirror finish front and rear; High Gloss Black Powder Coating on blade's entire spine, shank, and tang; Two-Color 24k Gold Decorative Etching on Blade; and only then final sharpening and polishing.
Vulfix #2234 Crimson Super Badger Shaving Brush
This superb brush is completely Hand Made using 100% Super Badger Bristles. The 22mm diameter bristle knot is more than up to the task of producing a rich lather quickly. The brush stands 100mm tall overall, bristle loft is 50mm.
The Exceptional Water Holding capacity of this quality brush means you can quickly produce a rich moist lather that will well prepare your beard for a close comfortable shave.
Before buying any brush compare the quality features of the "Old Original Vulfix" to any other brand and you'll see for yourself why it is our recommended "Best Value."
Vulfix Shaving Brush Stand
Your Vulfix Shaving Brush should be allowed to air dry in a "Bristles Down-ward" position after use. Doing so will assure long brush life and proper bristle shape retention. Never enclose your brush in a sealed container while still damp.
These Shaving Brush Stands are made especially for Vulfix and other Large and Extra Large size brushes. The opening for the brush is larger than on other similar stands and is able to accommodate a bristle knot diameter of up to 30mm.
Stands may be used either free standing or wall mounted using a double-sided foam adhesive pad for smaller brushes, or a screw for secure mounting of larger or heavier brushes.
#835 Hanging Razor Strop
This Double Sided Razor Strop will keep your straight razor "Shaving Sharp" for many years to come. Made of Best Quality Leather, it was designed and intended for "Professional Barbershop Use" and is made by America's oldest production strop maker.
The Strop measures 2" X 21" and is actually two separate strops, one made of Prime Quality Leather, the second of "Barber's Best" Fine Weave Linen Finish. They are joined at the top by a removable Brass Plated Swiveling clamp and swivel. Both the leather and linen strops have Stitched Leather Handles.
