Cutthroat razor

[Mike Bowler]

Hi guys just wanted to show off my new cutthroat razor made by Benjamin Cardoso from France.had my first shave and must say it is very sharp :sweat: made from O1 and G10

Thanks for looking

It looks amazing, and scary at the same time, knowing that if I touch my finger to blade it would probably cut straight though.

 

[Robbi]

That does look lovely Mike.

Those things strike fear into my heart....why would any sane man scrape a blade that sharp across his face !

 

[EarthToSimon]

I really like that!
Does it have a curved blade or is it just the photo? Not seen one like that before, is it much harder to strop that the straight blade types?

I'm using a shavette a lot at the moment, might upgrade to a real straight soon.

[Two Socks]

That is nice! Does the hole serve a purpose?

Nice. Not too keen on the spydie type hole but it's got a lovely smile to it. I love smiling blades... Should shave a real treat that, enjoy!

That looks awesome and also properly scary at the same time! Do they get them that sharp by simply going to an incredibly high grit?

Robbi I had a go today and was petrified I was going to cut myself

I really like that!

hole is a design he puts in his knives

Spidie hole is his take on them

lots of stropping on leather, hollow grind and hard work

Ben has licence to use the Spydie hole. Spyderco are currently working on one of his friction folders. I don't own one of his razors, but I'd imagine the hole gives some nice control over a blade that's slick with suds.

Basically, yes. I tend to set bevels at 1000 and finish on +12K natural stones. Then I strop with compound on a paddle strop then a hanging strop without. The steel is paper thin near the edge so they end up incredibly sharp!

Ya I figured that must be the case. Nice razor!

Lolz at needing a licence to drill a hole in a blade of any description. I'll do one soon with a hole in it and see if I get served with cease and desist papers from Spyderco's solicitors! I'll stick an earring through the hole though. Ha!

I've got a pair of Victorian-era open razors that I use regularly, once you've got the hang of it, they give the best shave ever. And that one looks a corker.

I will do a small introduction in the right section but before i answer to some question

Some years ago you needed the licenced to use the hole as opening system for one hand opening. Now Round hole is simply a Trademark from Spyderco. As I'm a big fan of the brand, i did the work to obtain the licence.
