What do I need to know about straight razors before buying one for my husband?!


Question: What do I need to know about straight razors before buying one for my husband.?
My husband's birthday is coming up, and I wanted to get him something special that he would use every day. I decided that I'd like to get him a good quality straight razor and a shaving kit to go with it. I don't know very much about the brands and what to avoid in a straight razor or what to look for.

I know I'll need to get things to sharpen it with, but which kind.? How do I avoid buying a razor that will tear up his skin, and do I send the razor away initially to get it sharpened, or should I get the things he'll need to sharpen it himself.? I want to do this right. Please help, and extra detail will be appreciated.Health Question & Answer

Some are junk and some are great. Use Google search to find all the information about straight razors you could ever want.

It will be incredibly sharp when you buy it, but he will need sharpening materials.

You probably should let him be involved in this purchase. It's his face that will be involved.Health Question & Answer
