A straight razor is a razor with a blade that can fold into its handle. They are also called open razors and cut-throat razors.
Although straight razors were once the principal method of manual shaving, they have been largely overshadowed by the safety razor, which incorporates a disposable blade. Electric razors of various types have also been an available alternative, especially since the 1950s. Despite this, straight razors still hold a market share, and forums and outlets provide products, directions, and advice to straight razor users. Straight razor manufacturers still exist in Europe, Asia (especially Japan), and North America. Antique straight razors are also actively traded.
Straight razors require considerable skill to hone and strop, and require more care during shaving. These methods were once a major portion of the curriculum in barber colleges.
The first narrow-bladed folding straight razors were listed by a Sheffield, England manufacturer in 1680. By 1740, Benjamin Huntsman was making straight razors complete with decorated handles and hollow-ground blades made from cast steel, using a process he himself invented. Huntsman's process was adopted by the French sometime later; albeit reluctantly at first due to nationalist sentiments. The English manufacturers were even more reluctant than the French to adopt the process and only did so after they saw its success in France.

Often times, men will get shaved at a barbershop not only for the way it makes their face look, but for the way it makes them feel. When done right, a gentleman can feel complete relaxation throughout his face and body. At the Barbersharp in Minneapolis, Master Barber Kelly Sharp does everything in her power to make sure her clients walk away clean shaven and extremely relaxed and refreshed. After a long career in real estate and the downturn of the market, Kelly decided to go back to school to learn how to cut hair, a craft she has always been passionate about. She chose barbering for several reasons: to specialize in haircutting, facial grooming, traditional shaves, and most importantly to preserve a tradition in barbering that is slowly fading into a bygone era. Kelly is most passiona...
