Zertone Vintage Straight Edge Razors for Men - High Carbon Steel Blade Straight Razor, Genuine Wood Handle, Leather Sheath Included - Precision Shaving Tool for Men, Retro Design(Black)

This is my second Zertone straight razor. I liked the first one so much that I purchased a second one to fill out my 7 day razor set. This is one of those under the radar deals. The one that I received has a long gouge in one of the wood scales, but that is a minor cosmetic issue. I'll probably rescale later with either horn or bone. The hinge pin was loose and needed peening a bit to tighten it up. Now the blade doesn't swing freely. The blade edge is straight and properly profiled. It came sharp and just needed some stropping to get it shave ready. Very impressive at this price point. I was prepared to run it through the stones and wood strops, but it didn't need it. Does it match my Dovo? No, but it seems to be made of decent steel and is a fraction of the price. If you do your part you will get a nice smooth shave with this razor.

bought the one with the dark wood carved handle, It is Beautiful and solid and well put together. The blade was nearly sharp enough to shave. However, the spine had a slight bend in it and the grind didn't quite match, but I could work with that. I straightened the spine by rubbing it against wet 1,500 grit on a flat piece of walnut. This brought the angle from the spine to the edge more in tune. Then honed the edge with wet 1,500 grit at a slightly steeper angle. As the 1,500 grit wears down it ends up being around 5,000 grit making a very polished smooth edge. It is now a 5 star razor that I would buy again. I shave my face and head flawlessly now, but it took some work to get there. I really Love this blade now. UPDATE! now over a year has gone by since my 1st review. I've saved with this razor all year. I hone it every couple months, and it still shaves great. The handle is still secure and beautiful with a tight fit to the blade. I still love this razor!

Nice and sturdy. Very sharp blade. Good price too.

Not a bad cutthroat for the price. Good weight, nice fit and the scales are very attractive. Was sharp, shaved OK with just a good stropping, but still not quite where I like it. A few passes on the stone took care of that. Nice little pouch for travel, overall, very satisfied.

Its a beautiful piece and nicely balanced but not even close to sharp. I stropped it 150x and it was still dull as a butter knife, I had a professional sharpen it for me and it still could not hold its edge. I reached out to the company but got no reply.

After I received my razor I did a little light stropping, then had a very good first shave. This is a heavy blade, and it feels good in the hand. I'm very happy, for the price.

You can get a better shave from a vending machine safety razor, will be returning. Waste of time and money.

The blade came sharpen and oiled. Good quality
