Sta Sharp Fine Chromized Steel 6/8 Shave Ready Hollow Ground Straight Razor

This is a Sta Sharp Fine Chromized Steel, 6/8 wide, full hollow ground, shave ready straight razor made in Solingen, Germany.

Beautiful razor in near mint condition with original three pin scales. Beautiful engravings on the blade. Bright and shiny blade. Deeply engraved jimps on top and bottom of the spine for better grip. On the show side of the blade it reads: Fine Chomized Steel; Full Guaranteed; Sta-Sharp; distributed by Sears Roebuck and Company, Chicago Illinois. On the coffin there are more details reading: Full Hollow Ground Blade; Kayser Ellison steel; Properly Hardened and Tempered. The steel is rust resistant compared to carbon steel. Honed on Japanese Whetstones. Comes with original coffin.

This razor looks better, will appreciate in value, and probably will outlast a new plastic Gillette razor oh by a few decades.

This razor was professionally honed. The cutting edge of this blade is sharp, and smooth capable of very close and comfortable shaves. This razor is shave-ready.

What does shave ready mean? This razor is shave-ready that means you can shave with the razor right out-of-the-box upon arrival. In order to get a razor shave ready it has to be honed. Honing usually costs $25 plus shipping by most vendors. This is important to know because most razors sold ANYWHERE are not shave ready even if they are new (i.e a new Dovo). New razors have "factory edges" which is not considered shave ready by the majority of straight razor users. If a straight razor is not shave ready it will not shave comfortably. Feel free to contact me for my honing services.

Why buy from me? Because if you buy a straight razor from me I will teach you how to shave with a straight razor.
