It's important to have the right tools for the craft. Picking the right razor is generally a personal preference, but with all of the overwhelming number of options out there, it's nice to know a few that stand out of the crowd. Here are the best razors according to our team of talented barbers and hairdressers, and what makes them great.
I am HUGE fan or and a daily user of the Feather Artist Club SS Japanese handle razor. The blade choices are world class… The “heavy” blade is ideal for full face shaves and tough beards. The Pro Guard is my daily blade for nape and side burn work… killer sharp and totally safe ( and 50 state legal for cosmetology professionals, no barber license needed).
Sam Villa Signature Series razors are what I love to use when using a razor to cut hair! It has an amazing swivel design that gives me a lot of control- especially when framing the face. Having that control, I can use them for any haircut. The series come with three blades, texture, blending, and straight blade.
The blank blade is great when I am face framing, layering around the face, and long layers. When doing pixie cuts and bobs with the razors it gives it a soft dimension and texture. With all my moving around and different angles, I make sure the cut is perfect. It stays versatile and comfortable.
I just love the feel of the Bison + Max Sprecher Signature Straight Razor and the old school feel of sharpening this blade on a leather strap. Another advantage of this razor is how easy it is to sanitize it.
Irving Barber Company makes high quality, durable razors. These things will last a long time. I also love the versatility- they can hold three different sizes of the straight edge razors. The razors are all-purpose, unlike cheaper razors they can it all and handle the wear and tear of daily work.
Plain and simple: I love my Irving Barber Company razor holder. I also love using Dorco blades.
