I have found some leftover Hitachi white steel and was able to forge 2 blanks. The first blank is currently listed, and at some point in the future, I'll tackle the second blank, which will also be available online. Those will be the last of the, in house forged, Hitachi white steel offered.

 

This hand made razor is ready to ship without the waiting time and is ready to ship. You can place a custom order if you would like a similar or different straight razor made if it's not available anymore.

 

Orders placed during the day, are shipped the next business day. Order placed on a Friday are shipped the following Monday.

 

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. 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.
