    Quote

    Rasoir Sabre’s “L’elegant” (6EL111_CBANT) comes from a 6/8″ 100c6 carbon steel blank produced in Thiers, France, a style to remind of mid-19th century French and English razors, and going along with this it has a highly-mirrored polish finish that you just don’t see today anymore in a world favoring the sandblasted and hand finished satin-matte options.

    The point of the razor is a classic Spanish style (as were the razors of the time it emulates), and the scales are made from farm-raised buffalo horn aged prior to forming to help improve stability (always guide any horn-handled razor in to and out of the scales by careful sight, as horn loves to move!)

    It has all the typical flaws of production that vintage French style’s known for, but it is also the king of the thin and pliant cutting edge in any modern production razor; look straight upon the terminus of this cutting edge with the binocular stereo microscope and the subtle meanderings of the cutting edge toward the show side or non-show side are a true indication of the keening of the blade.

    HHT

    Spoiler

    Condition: hair moistened, tip out/root in

    HHT-0 - shave: The hair can be shaved immediately at the holding point. This is strictly spoken not a true HHT, but it does tell us that the edge is capable of shaving. [all other attempts must be made at least half an inch from the holding point]

    HHT-1 - violin : The hair doesn't cut, but it "plays violin" with the edge. This is due to the shingles catching the edge, but it's not sharp enough to penetrate. On a full hollow razor, a faint ringing sound can be heard. On all razors it can be felt with the fingertips that hold the hair.

    HHT-2 - split: When it is dragged across the edge, the edge catches the hair and splits it lengthwise.

    HHT-3 - catch&pop: When it is dragged across the edge a bit, the edge catches the hair and pops it. The severed part will jump away.

    HHT-4 - pop: The hair is popped immediately when it touches the edge. It still jumps away.

    HHT-5 - silent slicer: The hair falls silently as soon as it touches the edge.
