I purchased and Strop and some fine buffing paste and watch countless videos on the internet before buying this and I'm so happy that I did. 1). So about me and how i use this razor, I am currently active duty Navy and as i mentioned above i purchased this razor the 7 month deployment that I as about to complete. I shave EVERY SINGLE DAY witch is important to know so you can understand how often this razor is used for the quality it is. when I first received this razor it was shave ready I did give it a couple passes on the strop that I applied the Extra fine buffing paste to and worked through both sides of a 3" leather strop before the first shave just to make sure it was good to go and I tell you it was the closest shave I have ever had! 2). So on deployment I did not have access to a honing block or any other sharpening stone except for my leather strop with the green buffing paste that was applied to one of the sides. I find that I can use this razor twice between having to run it on the strop it still has the same sharp pull free stroke as it did the first time that I put it to my face. 3). So after use for 8 months the black paint on the edge and the back of the blade has come of due to the stropping but the rest of it is still there. The case does it's job keeping the razor protected and there is zero sign of rust or corrosion witch was a concern of mine because i knew that I wouldn't be able to let it air dry I simply blow the water off wipe it with a towel and put it into my shaving bag witch is simply a cheap cosmetic bag you can buy form desertcart or Walmart that holds my Pre shave oil, soap, brush, after shave balm, and the razor itself. 4). some people on here said it gave them bumps or it wasn't sharp this that and another but it comes down to making sure the blade is ready for you to shave before you put it to your face and making sure that you are shaving properly, you might not think so but the pre shave oil, the soap that you use and how well you keep your' blade has I'd say 90% impact on your personal experience. If you have no idea what I am talking about there is a ton of free information on the web on wet shaving, stropping, and taking care of your blade and I urge you to simply google any question that you have and a person that is more knowledgeable about wet shaving most likely has a video on the subject. SUMMARY: I recommend this to anyone that wants a quality blade for the price point. It got me through a 7 month deployment without needing to be re-honed and the weight feels nice. not too heavy but not light and cheap feeling like the safety razors that have the interchangeable blades. If you are looking for your first real straight razor this is the blade for you because if you turn out not to like it or like wet shaving you can either return it or give it to a friend and at the end of the day it's still a quality blade that holds a wicked edge and gets an military inspection close shave every time! Review: Great Razor at a Nice Price Point - First off, the service was exceptional. As good as any I have experienced: they send three emails, which many companies do now. But when I had a small issue with the razor my emails were replied to promptly and the issue was resolved promptly and fairly. Now about the razor. Keep in mind that this is one of the few blades between the Gold Dollars and the Dovos in terms of price, and I think this razor hits the sweet spot. The blade is solid. It is stainless steel, which means two things to me: no rust but you have to strop it more. I've tempted the fates and put it away without oil since I got it and not a spot of rust or discoloration (this is not the case with my carbon razor)—the black coating helps here too, plus it looks cool. The jimps are subtle like a smooth file but definitely adequate. Stropping the blade easy even though the blade is not a straight profile but a smiled one (which means the edge has a bit of a belly or curve). This profile is less common in a straight razor and takes a bit of getting used to. I find it is taking the most practice in the harder, tight places like around the mouth and at first I would miss a few spots. Now I am getting used to the smiled edge and it SHAVES GREAT. Baby's derrière smooth and no unwarranted nicks. The design is COOL. Period. The handle is very sturdy, no cheap plastic scales. However it is a bit heavy for my tastes, I would love it if the walls of the scales were slightly thinner to make it lighter. This may take getting used to for some, but I found it no hindrance. The action on the handle is loose as you begin to open it and as you close it, but if you take care it's no problem. As you open it more it becomes stiffer. I found this actually makes it easier to strop. So overall I really like the handle, seems like this ought to last for decades, if not longer. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0104HLJ3U | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Brand | Velvet Forge | | Brand Name | Velvet Forge | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 288 Reviews | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Manufacturer Part Number | B0104HLJ3U | | Number of Blades | 1 | | Package Type Name | Box | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 684758994837 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Velvet Forge - **Number of Blades:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 1.00 Count - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel - **Age Range (Description):** Adult ## Images ![The Best Straight Razor ~ Quality Stainless Steel ~ Will Never Rust - Black on Black Handle and Foldable Blade for a Sleek Professional Look - Get a Quality Barber Shave at Home - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vSrqQmAtL.jpg) ![The Best Straight Razor ~ Quality Stainless Steel ~ Will Never Rust - Black on Black Handle and Foldable Blade for a Sleek Professional Look - Get a Quality Barber Shave at Home - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lhhvDKcxL.jpg) ![The Best Straight Razor ~ Quality Stainless Steel ~ Will Never Rust - Black on Black Handle and Foldable Blade for a Sleek Professional Look - Get a Quality Barber Shave at Home - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cBsyAn1+L.jpg) ![The Best Straight Razor ~ Quality Stainless Steel ~ Will Never Rust - Black on Black Handle and Foldable Blade for a Sleek Professional Look - Get a Quality Barber Shave at Home - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kBoBMS89L.jpg) ![The Best Straight Razor ~ Quality Stainless Steel ~ Will Never Rust - Black on Black Handle and Foldable Blade for a Sleek Professional Look - Get a Quality Barber Shave at Home - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71G9oxkS0wL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1 Razor 7 month deployment with no sharping and still Hair spliting sharp! *by J***E on June 21, 2017* I purchased this razor for a 7 month deployment I decided to buy straight razor because is was one of the cheapest straight razors that you could get for what it was.

Good weight and smooth construction. Came in a nice leather zip case inside of a soft velvet drawstring pouch with a good layer of oil on the blade to protect it (wash before using). Very solid razor for someone not looking to spend over $100. Also bought in conjunction with the velvet forge strop, for a $20 strop it does the job albeit light and thin feeling. Great starter set. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/18178269-the-best-straight-razor-quality-stainless-steel-will-never-rust](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/18178269-the-best-straight-razor-quality-stainless-steel-will-never-rust) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
