Straight razor use and maintenance
1. Moisten face with lukewarm water and lather up well with shaving soap
2. Hold razor firmly between thumb and 3 fingers
3. Hold the razor at a 30 degree angle to the skin
4. Press the razor lightly on the skin and shave with the grain of the beard hairs
5. Keep tension on the skin with your other hand whilst shaving.
6. Shave with a gentle, even motion, never in a hurry.
7. After shaving, use your favorite aftershave to maintain your skin
8. After shaving, clean and dry the blade well so it does not rust
9. Sharpen the razor regularly with the razor strop. Preferably before and after each shave, that way the razor will stay sharp the longest.

What separates a real man from the other men? His sense of style, humor ánd his straight razor of Brent Berkeley®.
Our straight razors contain all of the best elements of a classic straight razor, combined with modern-day technologies and an unrivalled steel.
The carbon steel blade ensures perfect shaving performance, time after time again. The steel requires less sharpening than its stainless steel predecessors, retaining it’s edge for longer. If treated correctly, the knife can stay shave-ready for months to come.
The heft of the razor is crafted from the finest mahogany wood. A wood-type found in expensive cabinets in luxury offices around the world. This wood was used in many first-grade furniture starting in the 18th century, which is around the time the legacy of Brent Berkeley started. Taking our inspiration from this time and lifestyle, we found it a more than suitable material for our straight razor. Not only by being a premium quality wood, but a wood with a story.
The mahogany wooden handle, combined with a beautifully hand-finished edge, makes the B.B. straight razor not only an invaluable tool for the modern-day gentleman, but a stylish accessory worthy of being put on display on your sink or wherever your journey may take you.
The straight razor is designed to deliver perfect shaving results with incredible precision by maximizing performance, while maintaining a forgiving blade-handling. Trim your beard lines with the exceptional accuracy that can only be achieved with single-bladed razors ánd drastically decline skin irritation like bumps or razor burn due to its single blade.
Shave in style and choose for a more enjoyable, sustainable way of shaving with Brent Berkeley. Only for real men.
Note: Due to the use of natural products, colors may vary slightly, making the character of your razor truly unique.
Shaving with an open razor is not as common as with most modern shaving equipment. To make sure that people who buy an open razor from us know how to handle it, Brent Berkeley offers shaving training given by master barber Daniël van der Putten.
What is a Traditional Straight Razor?
A traditional straight razor is a timeless grooming tool that has been cherished by gentlemen for centuries. Characterized by a single, sharp blade, typically crafted from high-carbon steel or stainless steel, this razor offers an unparalleled shaving experience. Unlike modern cartridge razors, which rely on multiple blades, the traditional straight razor demands a certain level of skill and patience to hone and maintain its edge. This meticulous process not only ensures a sharp blade but also allows for a level of precision and control that is unmatched by other razors. The straight, sleek design of the blade glides effortlessly across the skin, providing a close and clean shave that is both an art and a tradition.
High-grade Carbon Steel
Every Brent Berkeley® straight razor features a high-grade carbon steel blade that ensures unparalleled shaving performance. With a sharper edge and longer life than stainless steel, these blades offer the perfect shave again and again. If properly maintained, our razor stays shave-ready for months on end, reflecting the high standards of the modern gentleman.
Why Choose a Straight Razor?
In today's world of disposable razors and electric shavers, you might wonder why anyone would choose a straight razor. The answer lies in the precision, control, and unbeatable closeness of the shave that only a straight razor can provide. Not to mention, using a straight razor can save you money in the long run, as the initial investment pays off with years of use. Plus, there's something undeniably satisfying about mastering a traditional skill that connects you to the past.
Benefits and Features of a Straight Edge Razor
A straight edge razor offers a multitude of benefits that make it a preferred choice for shaving aficionados. One of the most notable advantages is the precision it provides. With a straight edge razor, you have complete control over each stroke, allowing you to create sharp lines and edges with ease. This precision is particularly beneficial for maintaining well-defined beard lines.
In terms of comfort, a straight edge razor, when used correctly, delivers a smooth and enjoyable shaving experience. The single blade reduces the risk of skin irritation, such as razor burn and bumps, which are often caused by multiple blades in modern razors.
Embracing a straight edge razor is also a nod to tradition. It connects you to the rich history and art of shaving, a practice that has been refined over centuries. Some straight edge razors even come with multiple blades, offering versatility for different shaving tasks, though this is less common.
Moreover, using a straight edge razor can significantly improve skin health. The sharp blade exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells, promoting healthy skin growth. This not only leaves your skin feeling smooth but also looking its best.

Caring for Your Razor
To ensure that your straight edge razor remains in pristine condition and continues to deliver exceptional results, proper care is essential. Here are some tips to help you maintain your razor:
- Cleanliness: After each use, thoroughly clean your razor to remove any hair, shaving cream, or debris. This prevents the buildup of bacteria and keeps the blade in optimal condition.
- Storage: Store your razor in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion. A leather carry-on case, like the one provided with the Brent Berkeley razor, is ideal for protecting your razor.
- Sharpening: Regularly sharpen your razor to maintain its edge. A sharp blade not only provides a better shave but also reduces the risk of cuts.
- Handle care: Clean and maintain the handle to prevent damage and wear. The mahogany wooden handle of the Brent Berkeley razor, for example, benefits from occasional polishing to retain its luster.
- Apply: Apply a small amount of oil to the blade to keep it lubricated and prevent rust. This simple step can significantly extend the life of your razor.
By following these care tips, you can ensure that your straight edge razor remains a reliable and comfortable tool in your grooming arsenal, providing precise and satisfying shaves for years to come.
