DOVO "All Stainless Steel" Straight Razor, 5/8

 

This All Stainless Steel Straight Razor is as close to "Maintenance Free" as you can get! Made of Special Swedish Stainless Steel, the handle is Polished to a Mirror Finish and mated to it's blade.

 

The blade begins as a Forged Surgical Stainless Steel blank that is then Ice Tempered for Hardness. Next a Master Craftsman shapes and grinds it into a 5/8 Hollow Ground semi-finished blade. It's finishing is completed by adding File Jimps to the underside of the shank, Brand Stamping the shank front and rear, and adding a 24k Gold Etched Brand to the front of the Blade. Finally it gets it's final polishing and sharpening.

#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.
 

Vulfix #662 Super Badger Shaving Brush,
Authentic Pewter

(item pictured is different than item offered with set) 

 

 

 

 

The Authentic Pewter Handle and Super Badger Bristles of this brush make it one of the finest offered in the Vulfix line. The Vulfix #662 compares favorably to top of the line brushes from other makers selling for more than three times the price!

This superb brush is completely Hand Made using 100% Super Badger Bristles. The 20mm diameter bristle knot is more than up to the task. The brush stands 105mm tall overall, bristle loft is 55mm. The heavy Solid Pewter handle is polished by hand to a brilliant lustre.  The perfect mate to our Pewter Mugs and Razors.

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

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.

 

Authentic Pewter Covered Shaving Soap Dish

Our Authentic Pewter Covered Shaving Soap Dish is 100% Hand-Crafted in England using time honored and traditional craftsmanship handed down from generation to generation by silversmiths who themselves rose from apprentice to master only after earning that title.  

This Fine Quality Dish artfully exhibits the epitome of the craft. Elegant, yet completely functional in design. Delicate to the eye, yet solidly made to serve faithfully through the years. The hand soldered seams are solid and flawlessly executed. It is marked on the bottom with the maker's "Nobleman" Hallmark. The hand polished mirror finish is perfect.

This dish is the perfect size to serve as a traveling companion. Have the quality you're accustomed to at home while on the road

This dish measures 2-7/8 inches in diameter and takes our small size soap cakes. For a form fitted soap cake try re-melting it in the microwave oven (20 seconds at high power) and pouring the melted soap into the dish. After cooling you have a form-fitted compact. One soap cake of your choice is included, refills listed separately. Order soap scent from the pull-down menu above when ordering.
