The Cambridge Cutthroat® Cut Throat Razor Kit with Travel Pouch - Missanda Hardwood & Stainless Steel Professional Barber Single Straight Edge for Men - Moustache Shaver & Beard Shaper

The kit itself feels really nicely made, sturdy, and the pouch it comes in is a very nice leather type one that should stand the test of time too!I have found that shaving with this gives a closer shave and works out far cheaper than "big brand" 5 blade razors, and has none of the irritation either. All you need to do is take your time with it, but that in itself is quite pleasant too!Just be sure to pick up some blades when you buy, as none are supplied with this kit - but a pack of 100 blades is about £5 and will last months! I personally recommend Derby brand, have used them for years in my safety razor and they sell single edge ones for straight razors.

Excellent quality worth the price

This is a decent product! One issue I have is that the arm keeps swiveling around, it maybe a bit loose. Otherwise, the razor works fine for me. It does take some time to get used to it and you will probably have to endure a few cuts and scrapes though!

The Cambridge cut throat has a solid build, looks stylish, and feels good in the hand and the shave quality is amazing, skin is smooth as a babies backside after I finishing shaving with it and face feels really clean and fresh. Comes with a pouch to store and transport the razor in.I have used regular razors all of my shaving life, starting with the old disposable bic razors, moving up to a Mach3 (3 blades) and then a Hydro (5 blades) and watching as I pay more and more money for the cartridges as well as slowing coming to understand the waste stream that I generate when I throw away the cartridges after use as they cannot be recycled and simply go to the landfill (think about how many men and women use these to remove body hair and you start to get an idea of the problem).So I tentatively approached the straight razor both from a money saving exercise (razor blades are cheap compared to the cartridges) and from a sustainability point of view (nothing goes to the landfill) as at first glance, it would appear to be fiendishly difficult to do, with significant scope for a visit to the hospital with a cut throat...However, having now used it for two weeks, I can say that the marketing messages used for cartridge type razors (more blades are better, each successive blade shaves a little bit closer, moisturises your face as you shave, etc.) are a load of hooey. One blade is all you need. Period. A couple of things to understand here if you are reading this and considering a straight razor:1. Snapping razor blades in half and inserting into the handle can be difficult at first and should never be attempted with wet fingers.2. Budget 15 minutes to have a shave, you need time to do it properly, try and rush and you will regret it.3. You will cut yourself when you first start using it, as using a straight razor requires more attention and skill than using a cartridge type razor.4. STICK WITH IT, as you slowly acquire the fine motor skills to use the razor, you will cut yourself less and less.5. when you start, the problem areas are anywhere on your face that has an angle (jaw line and right under your nose).Using a straight razor as a beginner should ideally only be attempted after a strong cup of coffee in the morning and never when hung over.A few weeks in and I am getting much better at this, admittedly, still have a problem getting to the hairs right under my nose (nick myself once every two days or so), but it has improved dramatically since when I first started (multiple cuts on face, ridicule from my peers) and now wonder why I didn't make the switch sooner.Last but by no means least, you can buy 100 razor blades for around ten quid from Amazon, which gives you 200 blades to use (remember you snap them in half) which covers your shaving needs for up to four years (assuming one new blade every week), compared to spending twenty two quid for 8 cartridges that last two months. so basically, you are looking at around 5 pence per razor blade compared to 3 quid per cartridge, for a better quality shave.Yes, it takes longer to shave, but I have come to enjoy the morning ritual, from a cost perspective, its a no brainer.

I bought this as was looking for a decent quality razor so I can line my beard up, paired with the derby tokai Swedish Steel half blades this works wonders.As I am rather new to using a straight razor it takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of holding it correctly etc your are good.Handy it comes with the travel pouch to take away with you if your travelling.

It’s okay, does the job however the wood handle is not protected in any way so in a moist bathroom it will not last very long. I’ve put some varnish on to try make it last a bit longer.

Was a gift and they are extremely happy with product, works well.

DO NOT BUY, doesn’t come as advertised with the “10 blades” as advertised and it seems very flimsy. Amazon luckily refunded me my money without returning as I am not at fault, now have to buy the blades separate in hope they fit.
