"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!

NEW SHOPPING CART! - You can now purchase goods and services from all three of our sites - this one, Dovo Razors UK and Razor Sharpening UK

And use the same shopping cart for all three! No more having to buy or order individually from each site, simply click the appropriate ‘buy now’ button to add what you want to the ‘basket’ and click the ‘continue shopping’ button - then go to any of the three sites and order from them, adding items as you please! Maybe a Vintage razor from this site, then a shaving brush from Dovo Razors UK - and finish with a honing order at Razor Sharpening UK! Easy!

 

Why have three sites? Well, we believe that it’s easier and lessens confusion - especially for anyone new to straight razor shaving - to do it this way. And now that orders can be placed whilst seamlessly moving between sites, purchasing from us, or using our services, really couldn’t be much easier! No hidden extras - the price you see on the site is exactly the price you pay and can easily be checked in your ‘shopping basket’ prior to finalising the transaction. And remember - we don’t hold (or even see) ANY of your card or PayPal account details. Peace of mind built-in!

PS - don’t forget our new sister site Thiers-Issard UK -  all the best from this world-ranked maker!

 

 

 

Hi there! This site is mainly concerned with that good old daily chore for men - shaving. We aim to promote the use of that ‘relic of yesteryear’ that, far from refusing to die, is now staging a big comeback - the straight razor (sometimes called the cut-throat or open razor). To that end this site offers vintage razors restored to a shave-ready state plus a full range of shaving accessories - brushes, strops, hones and more.

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

Yet for literally centuries the straight razor was the tool that men used - 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.

There's a lot of myth surrounding the straight razor: mention it and people immediately think of ‘Sweeney Todd’ or Poe’s ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’.
