C.F. Schwartz & Co. Solingen Straight Razor #84 "Manganese" 4/8 Shave Ready. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class.Thanks for looking.I am passionate about doing what we can to go back to a less disposable society. Straight razors are effective, long lasting, and high quality tools, eliminating significant trash and saving cash. A good single blade can last 20 years if cared for.I buy old vintage straight razors and recondition them for modern use. I select razors that can be properly brought back to service and were high quality when manufactured.1. I clean off any dirt, polish all the metal, and eliminate where possible all patina and corrosion. Typically they will retain some wear and marks especially if honed before. Also minor imperfections add character to an old blade.2. It's lubricated with top quality Tsubaki oil that is very compatible with razor materials.3. It's sharpened on famous Japanese stones made for the finest knives to 10k. I feel that any finer than this and the edge does not last as long. They get stropped twice once with compound and once without.4. They are test shaved once and steam sanitized.These are not for collecting, they are to shave with, and a satisfying connection with our less wasteful past.I recommend Mysore soap, and a preshave oil. The best straight razor strops are Illinois Strop read more
