【Please Note】
• Subjectivity of “Shave Ready”: Although this razor performs well in the hair test, the feeling of “shave ready” may vary depending on beard thickness, skin sensitivity, shaving technique, and personal preference. Please consider the video as the best reference for the current edge condition.
• Carbon Steel Care: This is a carbon steel razor and can rust if left wet. I have applied protective oil to the blade for shipping. Please wipe it carefully before first use and dry it completely after shaving.
• Vintage Nature: As a vintage item, there may be age-related marks, scratches, stains, patina, or signs of previous use. Please review all photos carefully before purchasing.

【Shipping】
