With the William Ragg Sheffield made open razors each blade is different in some small way. The grinder must have used artistic licence to create unique quality products. Even today in Sheffield knife grinders will grind a blade from a blank sheet of steel just by hand and eye and these are the same. These unique open razors are cheaper than comparable products mass produced by European makers today.

We require your date of birth when you order any of our  bladed products to ensure you are over 18.
