    Default Review of Frans Ukraine Straight Razor

    I need to make a responsible disclosure here. I purchased these razors and I have no
    interest in Frans Razors, not financial, or in any other capability. I just want to share
    my interest in these razors.

    “Frans Straight Razor’s – Like many here I was intrigued by the precision, range and styling of Ukraine straight razor maker Frans. I was really taken by the Raven and the
    Tallinn and decided to order them. The Raven is a 6/8 01 steel square point scaled in red acrylic.

    When the Raven arrived the presentation was very well done. The boxes for these razors
    is very professional and carries the razor’s design theme very well and fastens with a magnate. The razor was exactly as presented to SRP in the thread Frans established to show off his inventory and design capability. The razor is very well balanced, comfortable in the hand, tight and centered perfectly. The edge was precise and even. The comfort in the hand extended to stropping and no compromise of the grip was necessary leaving all my concentration solely on the stropping.

    With my favorite shave cream, Castle Forbes Sandalwood, the shave was excellent with this half hollow blade. Perfectly sharp and very comfortable and smooth against my skin. And, at 70 years of age, my skin takes some effort to shave properly. Only a few strokes were necessary across the grain to complete the shave.

    I understand my Tallinn has shipped and I am looking forward to it’s arrival.”

    Dear Iz6,thank you for your outstanding review. Our team does all the best while making razors of a good quality for you. I'm glad to present a range of new razor projects in September. We are able to make any of the razors from my razor project once again. Each razor has it's own serial number. Wish you all a comfortable shaving.

    Also you are able to receive your Tallin in the nearest future. It's on the way.

    Your a real taskmaster John. But just for you, and you may have to straighten them up for me.
