How to look after your shaving brushes and razors

Our Sheffield made folding knives are carbon steel and you should look at the care of knives page on sheffield-gb.com for details of how to care for those knives. The open razors are mainly stainless steel.

The shaving brushes should be dried after use and hung upside down to dry off. The Britannia teak is a hard dense wood which was stored by the Royal Navy for sixty years to use as replacement decking on the Royal Yacht. It has matured and hardened and I cannot think of a better wood for use in some of our products. With some of our products which use ancient or heritage wood we provide a letter telling you about the wood. The description alongside each product will tell you whether it comes with the letter.

Remember with all edged products whether they are scissors or razors to keep them out of reach of children.

For giving a clean shave superior to the throw away plastic cartridge disposable razors the DE safety razors are best They are also cheap to run and we provide a box of ten razor blades with each safety razor purchased. Our ‘nebula’ range of cartridge razors are not only a quality product by just replacing the cartridge they are more economical than the disposable  razors. Razors are marketed as a life style experience with of course the most advertising going to products which maximise the returns the Companies which make them and they attribute their brand to all manner of lifestyle experiences. Make up your own mind!

One of the great engineering achievements was the Stockton & Darlington Railway and using wood from the demolished York engine sheds we have created this Sheffield made knife which incorporates this wood in its grips. You can see it by clicking on the image above.
