Exclusive lead hardening process - considered the best method for strengthening carbon steel - dates back 100's of years. After being hand forged, each blade is plunged into boiling lead, then quenched in water and hand sharpened to a true razor edge.

• Blades stay sharp longer and will last a lifetime
• Pre-honed and ready to use
• Faux tortoise shell handle 5-1/2"L
• Made the same way since 1884 in France

Note: Blades will turn to a rustic brown color with use. 

Shaving with a straight edge razor gives you the closest, cleanest shave possible, and with an exclusive lead hardening process, the blade will stay sharper longer and will last a lifetime, something disposable razors cannot do.
