History of the Straight Razor Blade: The straight edge razor has long been seen as an icon of its era. It was a time when real men could shave without aloe vera strips, scented shaving lotion, and vibrating handles. Shaving wasn't a chore; it was a ritual, using an heirloom blade that had been passed from your grandfather to your father, and some day on to your own son. The rigid structure of a straight blade provides so much control and accuracy, many barber shops still use them today.

Although the straight edge razor may seem a thing of the past, it has been making a comeback lately, after being shown in movies and plays such as Sweeney Todd, A Clockwork Orange, Reservoir Dogs, The Matrix Reloaded, and Kill Bill. The intimidating appearance of the straight blade, often used as a weapon in movies and theater, is due to it's evolution into what is now known as a switchblade knife.

Our straight blades are perfect for any situation from self defense to the best shaving experience of your life. With the proper care, this blade will last forever.
