The Captain Fawcett Safety Razor is a practical razor of sufficient length to sit well in the hand, it comes with chrome fittings and an ivory effect handle.
According to Jackson Spielvogel’s book on World History the first razors were in use in around 18,000 BC. These were made of bronze or obsidian and worked to a point (though not a very fine one) so we recommend that for the discerning gentleman a more up to date approach would be the Safety Razor.
The first design for a safety razor came from Jean-Jacques Perret in the 1760s but it was King Camp Gillette who launched his revolutionary safety razor with disposable blades at the start of the 20th century. The innovative business model was, perhaps, almost as significant as the product. The Captain Fawcett Safety Razor uses a very modern Gillette Mach 3 blade, the direct inheritor of Gillette’s original safety razor blade and gives an excellent close shave. Dare we say this is cutting edge technology
