DAMASCUS STRAIGHT RAZORS

My Damascus is made from a high carbon damascus (known properly as pattern welded steel), and I personally select each forged billets (bar of steel) from my friends here in the USA who handcraft each one.

My razor damascus steel is an exceptional quality,

I select each one based upon the proper size and thickness for straight razors, and focus on billets with steel patterns that will make one-of-a-kind straight razors, and match the scales I set them in. The steel blends 1080 and 15N20 steels, and the alloying components differ from each steel creating the patterns you see (over 150 layers).


From this , I personally forge, grind, heat treat (to 60 HRC), and scale each razor, setting the shaving edge on my Escher Barber’s Delight hone (a unique quarried hone that gives an outstanding shaving edge).

In addition to craft I put into the steel, as well as and quality of the material, I have many trade secrets that I put into the razor which makes them an outstanding showpiece on top of a daily shaver.
