The Ralf Aust is a handmade straight razor from Solingen, Germany, the historic centre of blade making. Its 6/8" extra hard carbon steel blade features a full hollow grind and polished finish, arriving factory honed and shave-ready. The African Blackwood scales are as refined as they are durable. Properly maintained, this is an heirloom-quality razor built to last a lifetime.

The Ezra Arthur strop is one of the finest available. Handmade in Phoenix, Arizona, it features a 2.5" English bridle leather side for sharpening and a 100% cotton linen canvas side for drying and polishing the blade between shaves. Solid brass screws allow the leather and canvas to be replaced independently when worn, making it a genuine long-term investment. The included Dovo leather balm keeps the strop soft and supple between uses.

The Beard & Blade Classic Synthetic Shaving Brush, made by Simpsons/Vulfix in the UK, generates a dense, cushioning lather quickly from Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream. Fragrant and exceptionally nourishing, it's been a wet shaving staple for good reason.
