Cut-Throat Razors

Meticulously engineered, beautifully crafted and most likely the sharpest blade you will ever own. Look after your razor well and it will last for years and years.

There is a general consensus among those who shave with a cut-throat that razors directly from the factory are not truly shave-ready (even though the manufacturers often claim that they are). They will shave, but still require finishing to give a really smooth and comfortable shave. That is why at Gentlemans Blade we hand-hone and strop all of the cut-throats we sell. Make sure that no matter who you purchase your cut-throat razor from that it has been properly honed, or you will need to get it honed yourself.

So how sharp is a truly shave-ready cut-throat razor? There is a simple test to see if your razor is sharp enough to shave with - the hanging hair test (HHT).
