Safety razor shaving makes for an excellent smooth shave. Shaving should be treated as a pleasurable experience, and your skin should be looked after while doing so. This handcrafted razor has been made from Irish bog oak wood which adds an extra touch to the traditional shaving experience. The safety razor takes standard double edge blades which can be bought at any good chemist.

This would be a lovely 5th anniversary gift for your man as this anniversary is celebrated with a wooden gift.

***Safety Razors vs Cartridge Razors***

Have you ever seen a Gillette commercial? Notice, one of the biggest points they make is about the number of blades they have. I remember when cartridge razors just had 2-blades, now some have 5-blades. Are they any better? Debatable. In fact, a lot of people argue that the safety razor is proof that more blades make no difference. The safety razor has only one blade and it provides an undeniably closer shave. In fact, using more blades just leads to further irritation.

Think about what actually causes irritation. If you’re passing 5-blades over your skin instead of just 1, you’re going to cause far more irritation. Then, consider that safety razors have much sharper blades, meaning that you don’t have to go over the same patch of hair multiple times. It’s clear that a cartridge razor will cause far more irritation. The blades in cartridge razors are of much lower quality steel in many cases, they aren’t as fine or sharp and therefore can’t cut to the same level.



***Irish Bog Oak approx 4000-6000 years old.***

During hundreds and thousands of years, because of minerals and iron from the water, the rotting of oak timber is slower. A special role is played by the underground waters in the creation and darkening of the wood.

Over thousands of years, the wood turns from golden brown to black, this makes it very hard and needs to be worked with sharp tools.

Due to all of this no two trunks can be found of the same colour.



*** How I create a handmade razor***

A piece of wood selected from seasoned stock for its grain and colour.
It is then placed in a vacuum chamber and stabilized with a liquid called cactus juice. This completely seals the wood from water damage.
Each piece is carefully cut to show the best grain.
The wood is turned to size and then sanded through 5 different grits of sandpaper.
It is then rubbed with a dark beeswax mix and polished to finish.
After the pieces have been completed they are then assembled using premium fittings to create the perfect Irish gift for a man.

I do strongly recommend drying the handles of your custom razor after use. With proper care, the finish should provide many years of use.
