Thread: Just ordered a Hart Steel 7/8, Polished Finish, Square Point Straight Razor,

I received my Hart 7/8 Polished Square Point from Classic Shaving and I must say that CS is a pleasure to deal with; very professional and courteous with impeccable customer service.

I would describe the razor itself as a very crudely made razor; no frills, no decorative angles, simple tang stamps, etc. and I wouldn't change it if I could. The polished blade is more appealing to me and I am glad I chose it. I have not shaved with it yet, probably tonight or tomorrow, but I can tell you it is also a monster razor. I have a 7/8 Dorko #14 Square Point and the Hart dwarfs it. The blades are obviously the same size but the Hart is a meatier razor all around. The spine and tang are so wide it is unbelievable which makes it the heaviest razor I own now and the scales are big. I went with the black resin scales but wasn't all that impressed so I called CS and ordered the Cocobolo scales.

The razor came in a big fancy box with a color pamphlet on how to care for the razor, a hex tool for the pin, razor oil, and a deerskin sheath. I could have done without all of it if it meant a lower price but none the less it is all very nice.

My next purchase is going to be an 8/8 Revisor.

I like mine.
