Thread: Hart Steel 6/8 Quarter Ground Straight Razor

Hey guys, just looking for a little feed back I was looking at the Hart Steel 6/8 Quarter Ground Straight Razor from classic shaving, but was curious if they really come shave ready from the factory? Thanks for the info in advance!

Check out what some members had to say in razor reviews here.

I can tell you for one mine came out the box under hot water to rinse the oil off the blade and after my normal face prep I shaved. I got it before Christmas and do nothing but strop it before and after I shave. I love it and will Buy at the least 6 more if not more Depending on what they do different. I like my Dovo's and TI's and the Vintage steel I own but the Americal Steel is what I'm liking the best after all this is The USA. But Yes mine was shave ready out of the box.

Thanks I had actually already read those reviews but like any thing I buy Im one of those reasherchers OCD I guess Mainly I dont have a hone yet and was curious if I need to get a 1600 grit to fine tune it to make it shave ready but it seems that it comes ready from the reviews! thanks again.

the one i tried was shave ready, but the blade had a serious flaw.

Correct me if I'm wrong but O-1 steel is produced only in Europe and Asia so the razor isn't completely American. I applaud their efforts however.

What kind of serious flaw? I would send it back if that was the case.

you can read my review. it was not my razor (I don't like the aesthetics and most of the marketing points like being made in usa don't matter to me, to own one) or i would've sent it back.
