We got bored
of black razors.
Search for a barber’s razor and you get a wall of identical black handles. They work. They are also interchangeable, and none of them says anything about the hand holding it.
What we are
A small UK brand, started in 2026, making folding barber’s razors with replaceable blades and finishes that are deliberately recognisable. The first drop is the Pink + Gold. A black is on the way.
We are not a heritage house. There is no royal warrant, no hundred-and-fifty years, no workshop in Sheffield to photograph. Nearly everyone in this trade claims one of those, and we would rather be the brand that doesn’t.
What we make
The mechanism is the one barbers already trust: a folding handle, a hinged brass plate, half of a standard double-edge blade clamped in it. Nothing to hone, nothing to strop, a fresh edge whenever you want one. What changes is everything you can see.
How we sell
Through Amazon UK. Their checkout, their delivery, their returns — machinery you already trust, and the age verification a bladed product legally needs, at the till and at the door. This site takes no payment. Razors are sold to over-18s only, and you will not find ours presented here as anything but what they are: a grooming tool for shaving, edging and detail work.
Straight answers
Everything we know about the razor is on its page, including the gaps. The field guide is written to be useful whether or not you buy from us. If anything we have published is wrong, cutthroatcarteluk@gmail.com is the fastest way to get it corrected — one address, read by a person.
