Hello Anthony,


There is a German company called Böker that has razors made using damascus steel. It's suppose to be one of the better modern razors. One day I'll add one to the collection.   Also I'll send you a Facebook message about TwinLuxe products.  Thank you

Best wishes,
Joel

Using an unguarded razor does involve a learning curve. Once straight razor shaving skills are mastered the next important task is refreshing/honing/stropping the razor to maintain its keen edge. Maintenance skills are overall not hard to learn with enoug...
