These razors are handmade in Portland and built to last a lifetime. Here are some awesome reasons to consider straight shaving.

Made-to-order items ship in 2-4 weeks, so while you may not get your razor in time for the official day, it’ll be well worth the wait! Razors start at $249; Strops start at $100.
