Crimson Ghost Open Comb Double Slant Safety Razor | Twisted Shave Tech

*It's a toss up between Bakelite & David Lee Roth]   It Has A Twist Adjustable Element Too! See Instructions Below! OC ABS Double Slant Series or Why Does ABS Rock? First off, it's recyclable (7) and then, the color options are endless! While I loved offering our past bakelite razors the color choices were not really there. Heck, in order to do our Oxblood razors I had to source the bakelite supply myself, then ship it to the manufacturer! I mean, I never would have been able to do a Translucent Red in Bakelite, the manufacturers barely understood what a safety razor was, never mind if I asked them to make it See Thru & Red! But I Digress... ABS is also super strong and impact resistant. This could make it a perfect travel or camping razor. ABS so too is heat tolerant and possesses a high tensile strength. It's shock absorbent, and lastly, scratch resistant. To sum it up, though light, it's pretty damn durable and will last generations, especially with the brass hardware we had to include. We made sure the brass post was the standard 1032 thread so that it can be mixed and matched with your other favorite handles! Though I recommend you hang with the whole package before you switch it up! Unlike it's metal cousin, The Crimson Ghost requires slight pressure, but very, very slight. As for the presumed learning curve, you should have it mastered by the end of a 3 pass shave! A slant need not be about weight, but finesse and angle Grasshopper...  To sum all this up, The Crimson Ghost is a killer retro style, high grade quality, piece of shave tech past, present & future. Trust me, you do yourself a serious disservice if you dismiss this as sheer novelty alone. Those of you who already own El Fantasma or a Phantom Blue know exactly what I mean. A Smooth, Clean & Efficient Double Slant Shave Every time! SHAVE ON!!! Instructions: There are a few things you need to know about this razor, especially if you are new to a Classic ABS safety razor model. The dramatically shaped slant cap secures the blade at a precisely calculated cutting angle. This, in conjunction with the Slanted Open Comb, creates a smooth, drawing scythe-like cut. You will find it super efficient and truly pleasant to take down that unruly beard. Be sure to tighten the handle snugly for shaving. For closer shaves you can try loosening the handle by a 1/8 turn to a maximum of 1/4 turn, depending on beard thickness and your own assessment.  Note: This IS a plastic razor, so NEVER Over-tighten as you might a metal razor! To repeat, snug is the way! With this in mind, your slant will last decades! Shave with a vertical downward motion and don’t be surprised if you don’t feel much of the smooth cutting action. The Slant Cut is an automatic result of this time tested, classic design. But, you still have to choose the blade that works for your own unique face - That’s where the true edge is.  As important as the features on this razor may be, the beard is still being cut by the strength and quality of the blade. It is recommended you experiment with different brands of blade till you find the optimal blade for you. Some favorites: Feathers, Titans (dorco), Bolzano, Astra and Voskhod.   One 3-piece ABS Open Comb Double Slant Safety Razor NOTE: This is For One Razor Complete Length: 3.25" 16 grams
