Original ebony straight razor

Also called "sabre" razor, this straight razor has a C135 carbon steel blade. Handcrafted in collaboration with the Thiers-Issard workshops in France. The handle is made of real ebony, a precious wood known for its dark colour. The blade is thin and hollow, for a perfect and soft shave. The anti-slip notch on the underside of the tang guarantees you more safety. The razor is delivered in an elegant cognac coloured suede case.

This product requires experience, so don't hesitate to take a course from your barber to learn the right gestures.

• With the beard soap: With your face wet (ideally just out of the shower), quickly run your shaving brush under warm water and emulsify the soap inside the bowl (without crushing the hairs) until you obtain a thick, creamy lather. Apply to the face in circular movements for one or two minutes, just long enough to soften and straighten your beard hair.

• With shaving cream: Once you've prepared your face and moistened the shaving brush with warm water, place a dab of cream on the top of the brush and lather your face for one or two minutes as described above. Some users prefer to apply a trace of cream directly from the tube to each cheek, which they then emulsify with the brush.

To preserve the qualities of your beard brush for many years to come, we recommend rinsing it well after each use, to remove any traces of cream or soap, and draining it. Then rub it lightly on a bath towel before storing it upside down on a suitable stand.
