Essence Razor
We ship worldwide with Fedex international express.
UNIQUE & TIMELESS
A new way to experience an old tradition.
The Essence razor originated in a love of eye-catching design, produced using the highest-quality materials. We adore the close attention to detail seen in custom-made straight razors and combine this with the practical features of a modern Shavette.
RAZOR BLADES
Our advanced blade loading mechanism allows razor blades to be replaced fast, easily, and safely.
But it also goes on a step further with the use of a variety of different razor blade types. These include DE blades, feather AC blades and mini-injector razor blades.
SHAVING GRIP
ERGONOMIC DESIGN
The fierce long tail gives the Essence razor a unique appeal and allows for the fullest range of grips, from traditional style to barber.
NON-SLIP GRIP
Aggressive jimping at the top and the bottom of the tang allows for a non-slip grip, even while wearing soap-covered nitrile gloves.
PRECISION GROOMIN
With a deep thumb notch, designed for a choke grip, this feature is loved by Barbers for its ultra-precise detail work
SHAVING ANGLE
Bringing you close to a real straight-edge experience, the razor has a sleek wedge-shaped grind which offers more freedom to angle your blade just the way you want to.
Ergonomically designed, the razor blade feels like a natural extension of the blade holder. It adds to the authentic straight razor shaving experience
PERFECTLY BALANCED
Optimal weight and perfect balance ensures a comfortable shave.
A strong stainless body offers the best support for an intuitive and forgiving shave. A sleek aluminium handle acts to counterbalance the stainless-steel blade holder, creating the perfect balance from every angle.

I knew from the outset it wouldn’t disappoint, but, realistically, how much better could it possibly be as compared to other AC razors? Well, it’s streets ahead of anything else in the category! Immediately feels natural in your hand. The very first shave felt like I’d been using it for a while. Manoeuvrable, not too light and super efficient. Nothing comes close to it, in my humble opinion. The stand makes it for a beautiful display too, so, if in doubt, definitely buy paired with the stand. The only drawback: you might feel the urge to shave more often than usual.
Thank you very much for your positive review!
I wish you many more great shaves.
Fit and finish is excellent. Solid
Thank you very much for your positive review!
I wish you many more great shaves.
Great quality. Great that any blade can fit. Super easy to load as they fit like a glove. I look forward to continue to practice with it.
Hello Andrew
Thank you very much for your positive review!
I wish you many more great shaves.
This is actually my third essence razor as a Professional Barber in Barbershop Owner. I have found that when I’m not using an actual straight this is the closest to that. I also have one that I use regularly at home and one in reserve just in case it’s a fantastic piece of machinery, and the closest you will ever get to a true straight razor and that’s coming out as only a enthusiast but also as a professional Master Barber. Paired with a feather pro guard blade. It is just perfect.

Hallo Ralf
Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung und die netten Worte!
Wir wissen dies sehr zu schätzen! Ich wünsche Dir noch viele tolle Momente mit Deinem
Essence Rasiermesser.
Very good and high quality i love it , i am a barber I use it for single edge and feather blades it’s so easy to use . If you want to make your life easy just purchase Essence razor.
Very good shavette perfectly finished! Lies very well in the hand and is perfectly balanced. For me stand the half blades a little too far out, unfortunately, could not try various other blades such as Feather or Kasho. Nevertheless, it is very high quality razor and well made. Would me at any time to get one again!

Hello Thomann
Thank you so much for your review! I highly suggest that you try Feather blades if you have the opportunity. To me, the razor shows its full potential when it is used with single-edge blades such as Feather, Schick, etc.
I wish you many more great shaves!
I've been using a Kai Captain or Feather Artist Club DX/SS/SR to shave with and have been very happy. So when I learned about the Essence, I first thought "I don't need that, it won't do anything my Kai/Feather does". Then I had some cash to spend on myself after a while and decided to try it.
First things first, the stand: It's nice and heavy, doesn't topple over, and looks neat. It's very practical and does what it's supposed to.
The razor tho, is the main feature. First off, it looks really good (and when placed on the stand it really looks good). But when you pick it up, you feel something else: build quality. It's got good weight, and it's extremely well-balanced. The razor feel solid in your hand and it doesn't get slippery, the grip is great even with soapy and wet fingers. The very thin spine (much thinner than the Feather AC DX) allows for a much shallower angle meaning the shave is even smoother than what the Kai or Feather's can provide. Simply put, the Essence gives me a better shave than the competition, exceeding them in the build quality, shave quality, and esthetics departments. My Kai and Feather's are retired now, leaving the daily shave to the Essence.
In short, if you're on the the fence because you already have a Feather or a Kai: Get the Essence. You won't regret it.
Wow! Thank you very much fo this great review Fredrik!
It makes me happy to hear that you value your Essence Razor that much and it motivates us to cuntinou focusiong on delivering the best quality and design.
We wish you many more great shaves!
