Zwart scheermes

The black resin handle has a nice weight to it, and the 5/8" carbon steel blade holds its edge through a full week of shaves. It’s my first straight razor, and the learning curve felt worth it once I got that first clean pass.

The black resin handle gives it a nice heft that balances the 5/8" carbon steel blade perfectly, and the whole thing feels like a ritual piece on my sink. After a few careful shaves, I’ve gotten a much closer result than any cartridge razor I’ve used before—just takes a steady hand.

The 5/8" blade glides through my morning shave with almost no pressure, and the black resin handle gives me a solid grip even with wet hands. Took a few tries to get the angle right, but now it's the most relaxing part of my day.
