FRANKS CHOP SHOP : RAZOR ORIGINAL




While most men abandoned straight razors for the safety razor at the turn of the century, straight razors hold an important place in the history of grooming. More than an iconic artifact, they are still used by skilled barbers and Modern Gentleman of Leisure looking to achieve a closeness unrivaled by even the most expensive electric razors.

A bold straight razor adorns the window of Frank’s Chop Shop, Frank151’s flagship barbershop. Inside, skilled barbers practice the time-honored tradition of the straight-razor shave. All the barbers are youthful, as again, we must defer to the timeless wisdom of Ben Franklin: “Beware of the young doctor and the old barber.”

The original Straight Razor cap from FCS. Metallic gold and silver lurex embroidery throughout. "Beware of the Young Doctor and the Old Barber" quote on the under-visor, "CHOP" on rear panels.

Price: $50.00
