Parker Straight Razor-Red Oak

Made from O-1 tool steel. There are no old forgings or "mystery metal". Surface ground before and after heat-treating. These razors are guaranteed to be straight for ease of stropping and honing. Heat treated in a molten salt bath. The salt protects the blades from decarburization and oxidation. Frozen in liquid nitrogen. The deep freezing assures dimensional stability. Triple tempered for a final hardness of 62-63 HRC. Finish honed on a vintage Escher hone and hand stropped. Every blade is "shave-ready" right out of the box. Blade type: 6/8 quarter ground - Special Silk Finish - Square Point - with hand carved file jimps on the inside edge of the blade's tang for added control and grip while shaving.Scale: Premium Red Oak Hardwood
