It’s a hard wood and so called for its characteristic snakeskin pattern. Snakewood is a rare and small tree and it is one of the most expensive woods in the world.These razors leave the workshop in a ‘shave ready’ condition. However the cutting edge of the razor (the fin) may bend over ever so slightly. Stropping will right the fin. This razor should not need honed for at least 9 months if stropped properly. We recommend you watch some YouTube tutorial videos before your strop this razor.nTo prevent corrosion, after use, you must dry the razor thoroughly and store in a dry environment. The razor will benefit from a light application of razor oil if it’s going to be stored for more than a few days between use.For more choice, check out all of our cut throat razorsn
