Thread: Baxter teams up with Hart Steel

Now that's a razor that I'd pay $240 for. Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect their price to stay the same...

Very smart moving, teaming up with a German company.

You'd be $100 short. According to that page it's retail price is $345.

yeah, didn't see that. Still though, that's much more like it. Beautiful blade!

I'll be the voice of decent here and say that I don't like it...looks too 'tactical' for me...mall ninja shaving

hahaha just saw this 5 minute ago, and about to share it here, but it's been here a beauty isn't it?

what is used to make the blade black like that? does it also prevent rust? (like that thing they sometimes do to japanese blades)? Does it wear off?

Coolest looking current production razor I've seen IMO. I really like the blackened blade. Kinda looks like a razor that a sniper might use or something. I'd love to know how it shaves once somebody here has got their hands on one. Blades like this one make it very difficult to have any control over RAD.

The KU finish on Japanese blades can wear off depending on how it got there... cheap knives just have a black finish while others are baked on in the tempering process.

Is this the same? Doubt it as it would have to be uniform for this company (I'm betting)...

Funny I've been in CA most of my life (unfortunatly) and never heard of Baxter... Looks to metro for me though so I may have just filed it as background noise...

I recently received this blade in the mail. Managed to pick it up at 20% off, due to a promotion Baxter of California was having for the month of June. Beautiful product, almost afraid to use it. The sleeve's also pretty amazing, and partly the reason why I decided to buy it - I'm a Makr aficionado.
