Here is another straight razor that you will be very sorry if you miss it. Dahlgren is to Swedish straight razors what the Henckels are to German straight razors. You’ll know why when you start honing one of them and feel their steel quality.
W. Dahlgren produced straight razors between 1870-1917; and is considered to be among the top 10 Swedish straight razor producers. This C. W. Dhlgren Straight Razor we have is also such a beautiful razor that is worthy of its fame. An old stager which we estimate to be 115-120 years old with a 4/8” quarter hollow grind, smiling edge, skillfully tempered steel. Gets a great edge and sharpens easily. We gave the steel a matte brushed finish and combined it with some gorgeous eye-catching flamed maple scales. Honed and stropped, ready to rock again. It will instantly put a smile on your face as soon as you draw it on your cheeks.
We will miss this Dahlgren razor when it’s gone and wish it will give its next owner pleasant shaves.
Straight Razor Care Instructions
Unlike any other shaving tools, straight razors require special care. The cutting edge must be protected from impacts and contact with any hard surface. After each shave you must clean and dry your straight razor with a soft paper towel without touching the very edge and strop it to keep it sharp. You can strop on the canvas side of your strop to clean the cutting edge after each shave. Please do not try to sharpen your straight razor by yourself if you don’t have adequate honing experience, otherwise you can cause irreparable damage. You may consult our straight razor honing service. If you won’t be using your straight razor for a long time, it’s best to cover it with a thin coat of oil to keep it rust free. This is especially important for straight razors with carbon steels, as carbon steel is very prone to rust in humid conditions. Keep your straight razor in a dry place and out of children’s reach.
CAUTION: Straight razors are serious tools for experienced users who know their faces, skins, whisker types and how to lather well. They can cause serious accidents and injuries in the hands of people without enough experience. If you’re enthusiastic about traditional wet shaving but don’t have the experience needed for using a straight razor, then we recommend checking out our double edge safety razors first.
