KIYA Ichogake Japanese Kamisori Straight Razor
$175.00
Of Japanese design and manufacture, the KIYA Ichogake Kamisori Straight Razor is instantly recognizable. It has a single cutting edge, just like straight razors from European manufacturers such as DOVO and Thiers Issard. But unlike these cut-throats, a Japanese straight razor is a single continuous piece of steel with a flat-headed blade. This implement is made using kigami, which is a superior carbon steel formulated for increased strength and sharpness retention. The handle of the kamisori has been bound using rattan for a firmer grip. Please keep in mind that sharpening and honing this kind of razor takes practice and involves a steep learning curve, even if you already own a European-type straight razor.
Being an old and respected manufacturer of kitchen knives, KIYA can boast of considerable experience concerning cutting implements made using steel. Although the modern business still specializes in the manufacture of kitchen knives, it has used this experience to launch unrelated products such as nail clippers and straight razors.

Chromox, Green Chromium Oxide Finishing Paste by Thiers Issard
Sold Out
Chromox finishing paste is recommended for use after sharpening with extra-fine diamond grits 0.50 or 0.25 microns. It is also suitable for use after super-fine hones, such as Shapton 16,000 or 30,000 grits, Chinese 12,000 grits, or select Belgian Coticule stones.
The edge-smoothing compound, when properly used on a paddle or hanging-strop, smoothes or takes the "bite" out of a very sharp, aggressive edge.
Important: the chromium oxide paste must fill the pores in your strop; you don't want it to coat the surface. Before first use, with your fingers, rub in a generous amount of paste to completely cover the surface and fill all voids. Then, with a paper towel, wipe all the excess paste off the surface. When you are getting only a trace of lapping paste on your towel, your strop is ready for use. Before applying the chromium oxide paste, you should always stir it well, to avoid settling of the chromium oxide particles in the mixture. We recommend that you stir with a small piece of wood and then wipe this piece on the strop to be covered, so as to avoid wastage.
Note: Paste only fills half container. This is normal.

Oozuku Japanese Natural Whetstone
$91.50
***Oozuku stones are natural rather than artificial, meaning that their colors, shapes, sizes, thicknesses, and other characteristics are unique to each stone. Even though the picture shows examples of the product, customers cannot choose from the depicted stones because the pictured items might not be available in our inventories. No returns and no exchanges will be accepted if the products mailed are not a match to the pictures presented.***
Named for the site of its origin, the Oozuku Japanese Natural Whetstone is a product of its homeland’s finest honing practices. Although the material used to produce these pieces comes from the same site, its depth means that there can be significant differences between individual stones. As a result, even though most of these stones fall within 8,000 to 12,000 grit, the actual grit size must be discovered through actual usage. Customers should bear in mind that these pieces are meant to be used along with nagura stones, which are rubbed atop their wet surfaces to produce an abrasive slurry.
Oozuku is one of the Higashi-mono, referring to a collection of five quarries famous since ancient times for their sharpening stones. Stones from Oozuku are renowned for their fine grain and exceptional hardness, though some examples can be too hard at times. At present, production has stopped at Oozuku, but there is more than enough stockpiled material to continue supplying customers around the world.

To complete its image, the scales on this straight razor are made using imitation nacre, meant to reproduce the beautiful rainbow shine particular to mother of pearl.
DOVO is a German manufacturer based in Solingen. Similar to some of the other cities that host razor blade manufacturers, Solingen was once home to swordsmiths famed across Europe for their skill and craftsmanship. Today, DOVO is more than eager to put that inherited expertise to use manufacturing some of the best razor blades available on the market.

Belgian Yellow Coticule 6x2", Select Grade
$145.00
Natural sharpening stone imported from Belgium. Includes a slurry stone.
An extremely versatile and efficient sharpening stone. Can be used wet, dry or wet with a slurry. The normal grit of the stone used without a slurry is 8000 grit. When used with a slurry, the grit drops to about 6000 grit making the coticule suitable for sharpening a blade that is not particularly fresh anymore. The coticule without a slurry can be used to put a fine edge on your straight razor.
Besides its versatility and flexibility of use, the coticule has the advantage of being a naturally non-porous stone, so it will not clog and it doesn't need presoaking. Just sprinkle some water on the stone and you are ready to go.
Moreover, this stone provides an excellent feeling and feedback when sharpening, making it ideal for new wet-shavers.
The stone is very hard (harder that most artificial wet stones) but will still need lapping before first usage and from time to time. It can be lapped by using a lapping stone (i.e DMT-8C 325 coarse diamond sharpening stone or Norton Lapping Stone) or with sandpaper on a very flat surface (i.e. glass).
The difference between the standard and select grade coticules lies only in their appearance. Both stone grades have identical sharpening qualities.
Note: These are natural stones and each stone is one-of-a-kind. Consequently the photo is for illustration purposes ONLY, and might not accurately represent the Belgian Yellow Coticule stone you will actually receive.
Tip: the long edges of the stone should be rounded slightly with a lapping stone or sandpaper. This way the risk of denting the blade in a normal honing motion across the stone is greatly reduced.

Thiers Issard Bio-Diamond 3 Sharpening Paste (Green)
Sold Out $42.75
Regular-grit, 3 micron, straight razor sharpening paste from Thiers Issard. Ideal for refining of edge direct from hone, intermediate action or restoring.
A bio-diamond sharpening paste in the 6 micron to 1 micron range is the best aid to refine the "not quite shave-ready" edge typically found on a new, out-of-the box razor.
Other applications include reconditioning vintage straight razors or removing dings or chips. For such repairs, only a hone will do. But, once a hone has done the heavy work, Bio-Diam 6 and 3, followed by Bio-Diam 1 and Bio-Diam 0.25, will refine the basic edge quicker and in much more controlled manner than a hone can.
Thiers Issard Bio-Diamond sharpening pastes are very carefully sorted to make sure that particles in each mix are exactly the given grade size. These sharpening pastes are water-based, perfect for use in the sharpening of razors; they have no harmful chemical additives and are even "food-safe" if accidentally ingested. They easily rinse away after sharpening, lessening the risk of any skin irritation or infection.
Important: sharpening pastes should be used with care and measure. Employ small amounts, follow the manufacturer's instructions and avoid wastage. This not only makes economic sense, but will be the best for your straight razor as well. The special push-bottom applicator tube in the bio-diam pastes ensures economical dispensing.

Combo Coticule (Blue and Yellow) 6x2", Standard Grade
$154.00
Combo (blue and yellow coticule) sharpening stone imported from Belgium. Includes a slurry stone.
The Yellow coticule is an extremely versatile and efficient sharpening stone. Can be used wet, dry or wet with a slurry. The normal grit of the stone used without a slurry is 8000 grit. When used with a slurry, the grit drops to about 6000 grit making the coticule suitable for sharpening a blade that is not particularly fresh anymore. The coticule without a slurry can be used to put a fine edge on your straight razor.
The Blue coticule is a natural sharpening stone with a grit of 4000, making ideal for re-sharpening a dull blade. After using the Blue Coticule the transition can be made to the yellow coticule for final polishing and touches.
Besides its versatility and flexibility of use, the coticule has the advantage of being a naturally non-porous stone, so it will not clog and it doesn't need presoaking. Just sprinkle some water on the stone and you are ready to go.
Moreover, this stone provides an excellent feeling and feedback when sharpening, making it ideal for new wet-shavers.
The stone is very hard (harder that most artificial wet stones) but will still need lapping before first usage and from time to time. It can be lapped by using a lapping stone (i.e DMT-8C 325 coarse diamond sharpening stone or Norton Lapping Stone) or with sandpaper on a very flat surface (i.e. glass).
The difference between the standard and select grade coticules lies only in their appearance. Both stone grades have identical sharpening qualities.
Note: These are two natural stones that have been bonded together and each stone is one-of-a-kind. Consequently the photo is for illustration purposes ONLY, and might not accurately represent the Belgian Yellow Coticule stone you will actually receive.
