MATERIAL
This razor is made of carbon steel with the material designation 1.2210, better known as silver steel. To achieve a hardness of approximately 61 HRC, the material is heated to over 1000 degrees and then immediately quenched with a special oil. The subsequent tempering at about 200 degrees gives the blade elasticity and toughness. We achieve the black finish by abrasion-resistant burnishing.
HANDLE MATERIAL
Ebony is one of the most valuable woods on earth. It is extremely hard and heavy. Therefore, it is perfectly suited for the production of a high-quality handle. Its structure enables the wood to keep its shape even in a damp environment and not to swell. Several sanding passes are necessary to create the silky soft surface.
GRIND
With hollow grinding, the razor is ground concave from the back to the cutting edge. This design combines great flexibility with high torsional rigidity in longitudinal form. The blade dynamics ensures a smooth shave accompanied by a very characteristic sound, which is triggered by the swinging of the razor at the hair section.
