J2 High-Carbon Steel Care

Because this razor uses high-carbon handmade J2 steel, keeping the blade clean and dry is important. Wipe away moisture after use and allow the blade to dry completely before storage.

A leather sheath is included. Avoid storing the blade while damp, as leather can retain moisture. Regular stropping can help maintain the shaving edge between sharpening sessions.
