I have forged two blanks from leftover Hitachi white steel. The first blank has already been sold, making this the second and final blank. This handcrafted straight razor can be pre-ordered and will be crafted to the specifications featured on the website.
The scales may exhibit slight variations due to the distinct patterns and hues present in each shell. In addition to the shell, I can also provide several alternative options. Kindly select your preferred choice from the drop-down menu during checkout.
These will be the last of the in-house forged Hitachi white steel offerings.
Yasuki - Hitachi shiro-gami white paper steel features a high carbon steel core with 16 low carbon steel outer layers. This steel is super pure, in which it has very little impurities such as phosphorus and sulfur in the steel's make up. Shiro-gami or white paper steel is the closest steel to the traditional Tamahagane steel. Yasuki Steel is a high-quality, versatile steel produced by Hitachi Metals, known for its purity, high hardness, and ease of sharpening. This steel originates from Japan.
Multilayered Suminagashi steel is not corrosion-free. Always wipe your razor clean and store it in a dry location. For better storage wipe the steel with a protective oil (ex. camelia oil, ballistol, mineral oil, baby oil, renaissance wax, vaseline, gun oil...)
I always recommend not closing the razor when you are done shaving as water and humidity can still be trapped between the razor scales. Let it open for at least 15 minutes or longer before storing away your razor so any water or humidity can evaporate.
The scales are 100% genuine paua shell on a black backing and covered with a durable topcoat of industrial resin making them very sturdy, maintenance free and at the same time protecting the shell.
Abalone/Paua is a common name for any of a group of small to very large sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Haliotidae. Other common names are ear shells, sea ears, and muttonfish or muttonshells in Australia, ormer in Great Britain, abalone in South Africa, awabi in Japan and pāua in New Zealand. Abalone can be found along the coasts of New Zealand, Australia, Japan, South Africa and North America.

Your sole option for purchasing and receiving your order in Europe is to utilize an international parcel/shipping forwarding service. Forward2Me and MyUS are widely employed by many of my international customers. They’re very competitive and affordable.
Since you get free shipping in the USA for my custom straight razors, you can use the otherwise charged shipping fee to Europe towards the international forwarding service.
You can place your order with USPS Express Int, but since I have no way of adding the UPS Worldwide as a shipping option I can upgrade you at no charge to UPS worldwide which usually takes between 3 and 5 business days to arrive. USPS Express Int can easily take up to 4 weeks or longer.
If you want the UPS upgrade please leave me a note when checking out or send me an e-mail.
Custom duties, import taxes and UPS handling fee are the buyers responsibility.
