This collection includes traditional straight razors with a fixed steel blade and shavettes that use replaceable blade holders, plus selected cases, oil and stropping products. The two systems can look similar in use but differ in blade preparation, maintenance and ongoing replacement needs.

A fixed-blade straight razor requires stropping, careful drying and periodic sharpening; it should not be treated like a disposable blade. A shavette avoids sharpening but requires the correct holder and compatible replaceable blade. Both demand deliberate angle and pressure control and have a steeper learning curve than a safety or cartridge razor. Beginners should practise slowly on uncomplicated areas and understand blade handling before attempting full facial or professional use.
