These beautiful razors are made for me by the same people who make the Merkur & Edwin Jagger razors. Not to be confused with the cheap far eastern versions that are made from lightweight alloy.These razors are a heavy weight brass construction with a thick chrome plate. I also sell this razor as part of a shaving set ( see my other listings ). Both the chrome & Black razors share the same style head which is the key to what makes these so good.
