Both version have the advantage of accommodating the whole edge of your straight razor making it easier for a beginner to use.
Everything you need to start your journey into straight razor shaving, apart from soap and a brush!
All bought new from the good people at The Invisible Edge in February of this year.
Unfortunately try as I might it’s just too daunting a tool for me. Having been DE shaving for 20 years I thought it the natural next step. But I’ve only used it twice and quite frankly, it terrified me both times. It’s been stropped after each use, cleaned and put away in my razor box. Everything here has genuinely only been used twice, so it’s basically all new.
It deserves to be used and appreciated by someone with more skill (and larger cojones) than me so £125 buys the lot!
Postage would be a fiver, PayPal or bank transfer preferred.
