"The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen/As is the razor's edge invisible,/

Cutting a smaller hair than may be seen/"

Part of this quote was changed slightly and used on the blade of Butler's 'Keen' razor (featured here, top of page). It refers to the fact that the edge of a straight razor is so fine and sharp that it is actually very difficult to see - hence ' The Invisible Edge'. We’re nothing if not well-read!

Hi there! Thanks for visiting us. Here’s a brief run down of who we are and what we do -

 

Who we are: we’re straight razor specialists - that’s all we do, along with directly-related accessories and our range of own-brand fine kitchen knives.

What we do: We aim to promote the use of straight razors that are - from the ‘edge of extinction’ -  now staging a big comeback. On this site we have vintage straight razors and custom straight razors, all restored to shave-readiness. plus a full range of shaving accessories - shaving brushes, strops (including our own top-quality custom strops), hones, starter kits and more - just see the menu to the left!

Our associate sites Dovo Razors UK and Thiers-Issard UK offer a range of razors and accessories from these World-famous makers whilst Razor Sharpening UK offers a variety of services including cleaning, polishing, honing and refurbishment of straight razors.

Oh, yes. The name. The Invisible Edge?  Well, that comes from Shakespeare's 'Loves Labours Lost', Act 5, Scene 2, where Boyet says-

There's a lot of myth surrounding the straight razor: mention it and people tend to think of ‘Sweeney Todd’ or Poe’s ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’ - yet for centuries the straight razor was used by men - every day - to get rid of their stubble.

     True, it does take  a little practice to use a straight razor safely and effectively but the results are just as good - if not better - than modern, disposable blades,  if only for the reason that with a straight razor you get to start each shave with what, in effect, is a new blade - without contributing that little bit extra to landfill when you dispose of yet another used cartridge blade!
