## Description

Founder, James

Review: This thing is simply amazing - takes time to master, but well worth the effort - The Cambridge cut throat has a solid build, looks stylish, and feels good in the hand and the shave quality is amazing, skin is smooth as a babies backside after I finishing shaving with it and face feels really clean and fresh. Comes with a pouch to store and transport the razor in. I have used regular razors all of my shaving life, starting with the old disposable bic razors, moving up to a Mach3 (3 blades) and then a Hydro (5 blades) and watching as I pay more and more money for the cartridges as well as slowing coming to understand the waste stream that I generate when I throw away the cartridges after use as they cannot be recycled and simply go to the landfill (think about how many men and women use these to remove body hair and you start to get an idea of the problem). So I tentatively approached the straight razor both from a money saving exercise (razor blades are cheap compared to the cartridges) and from a sustainability point of view (nothing goes to the landfill) as at first glance, it would appear to be fiendishly difficult to do, with significant scope for a visit to the hospital with a cut throat... However, having now used it for two weeks, I can say that the marketing messages used for cartridge type razors (more blades are better, each successive blade shaves a little bit closer, moisturises your face as you shave, etc.) are a load of hooey. One blade is all you need. Period. A couple of things to understand here if you are reading this and considering a straight razor: 1. Snapping razor blades in half and inserting into the handle can be difficult at first and should never be attempted with wet fingers. 2. Budget 15 minutes to have a shave, you need time to do it properly, try and rush and you will regret it. 3. You will cut yourself when you first start using it, as using a straight razor requires more attention and skill than using a cartridge type razor. 4. STICK WITH IT, as you slowly acquire the fine motor skills to use the razor, you will cut yourself less and less. 5. when you start, the problem areas are anywhere on your face that has an angle (jaw line and right under your nose). Using a straight razor as a beginner should ideally only be attempted after a strong cup of coffee in the morning and never when hung over. A few weeks in and I am getting much better at this, admittedly, still have a problem getting to the hairs right under my nose (nick myself once every two days or so), but it has improved dramatically since when I first started (multiple cuts on face, ridicule from my peers) and now wonder why I didn't make the switch sooner. Last but by no means least, you can buy 100 razor blades for around ten quid from desertcart, which gives you 200 blades to use (remember you snap them in half) which covers your shaving needs for up to four years (assuming one new blade every week), compared to spending twenty two quid for 8 cartridges that last two months. so basically, you are looking at around 5 pence per razor blade compared to 3 quid per cartridge, for a better quality shave. Yes, it takes longer to shave, but I have come to enjoy the morning ritual, from a cost perspective, its a no brainer.

## Features

- BLADES NOT INCLUDED (UK REGULATIONS): search desertcart for 'single edge razor blades' to order with your razor. Each blade snaps in half for two uses - £10 for 100 blades covers up to 4 years of shaving, roughly 5p a shave versus £3+ per cartridge.
- SOLID, PREMIUM BUILD: handcrafted from stainless steel with a striking black-and-gold handle and a good blade angle. Built to last and rigorously tested, it feels good in the hand from the very first shave and looks the part on any shelf.
- PRECISION BLADE CONTROL: the swing-lock mechanism holds the blade securely; change blades carefully with dry hands and the clasp releases cleanly. The ergonomic black-and-gold handle gives total control for shaping beard lines on cheeks and neck.
- PREMIUM LEATHER TRAVEL POUCH: keeps your razor protected at home and away - reviewers call it a well-made, premium-feeling case. Zero plastic waste and fully recyclable blades make it a genuine alternative to disposable cartridges that saves money.
- GREAT FOR BEGINNERS & ENTHUSIASTS: first-time users report sharp, clean beard lines with no cuts. Allow 10-15 minutes, take your time, and most shavers master the technique within weeks. Designed in Cambridge, England.

Nice item

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product but only takes half blades
*by M***B on 5 July 2026*

This is a good quality product and is well made. It's sturdy and has a solid feel. It wasn't clear from the description that the razor only holds single sided blades. Most blades are double sided. I've bought double sided blades and they're designed to be split easily (with care!). I found fitting the blade very fiddly at first as the raised 'dimples' that hold the blade are quite small. However, with practice this became easier. Once fitted it gives a good feel and blade stays in place.
