🔪 Blade Finishing Process
This razor has been meticulously honed through a precise multi-step progression to ensure optimal edge quality and shave performance:
• Stone Progression:
1000 Chosera or Shapton Glass Stone → 5000 (shapton) → 8000 (shapton) → 12,000 (shapton) → 16,000 (shapton) grit for a refined, ultra-smooth edge.
• Natural Stone Finish:
Final polish on a Nakayama Kiita Kyoto Japanese Natural Whetstone, prized for its ability to produce an exceptionally keen, smooth edge with traditional craftsmanship.
• Stropping Sequence:
Post-honing stropping includes:
o Denim (for burr removal)
o Vintage fire hose linen
o Premium flax linen
o Kanayama Cordovan #70000 strop________________________________________
Is it overkill? Maybe.
But it’s the only way I do it—because delivering a truly shave-ready edge takes more than just grit. It takes pride, patience, and precision.

⚠️ Legal Disclaimers (Because...lawyers)
• ⚡️ Do not use this razor while unconscious. If you’re unconscious, you have other problems.
• 🌍 Do not shave during an earthquake. That’s just asking for it.
• 🔪 Razor is sharp on purpose. Use it like a grown adult.
• 🚫 Do not eat the razor. Seriously.
• 🧠 By purchasing a BeardKnife product, you assert that you're not an idiot, and take full responsibility for how you use your blade.
If that sounds reasonable—you’re our kind of person. Enjoy the cut.



🧾 BeardKnife Terms & Straight Talk
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
You're responsible for your country’s taxes and import fees.
If your order is returned because you refused to pay them, no refund will be issued.
These orders cost me time, money, and inventory space.
If you won’t pay your duties—don’t order.
Simple as that.
________________________________________
💈 What Does "NOS" Mean?
NOS = New Old Stock
Vintage. Unused. Factory edge only.
Not honed, not stropped—preserved as originally made.
If you want it professionally honed, message me before buying.
(And beware: some sellers misuse "NOS" like it’s a buzzword. Not here.)
________________________________________
🔪 What Does “Shave Ready” Mean?
To me, it means exactly what it says:
Professionally honed, stropped, and ready to shave out of the box.
Many sellers just slap it in the title. I don’t.
If I say it’s shave ready—it is.
________________________________________
⚖️ On Scratches, Spine Wear & Tape
It’s a tool, not jewelry.
I don’t tape spines unless there’s a specific reason.
My focus is geometry and function—a true working blade, not a shelf queen.
Shave-ready razors are rarely mint, but they’re always elite performers.
________________________________________
🚫 Returns Policy
No returns unless I send the wrong item or make a clear mistake.
Why? Because:
• Most products can’t be resold once opened (especially soaps & lotions).
• Postage, platform fees, and restocking kill small businesses.
• Bad returns = higher prices for good customers. Not happening here.
💡 If you’re unsure about a scent or item, buy ONE first. Ask questions before ordering—I’ll answer honestly.
________________________________________
✂️ Razor Returns Exception
If your razor doesn’t meet your shave expectations, I’ll accept a return within 30 days (you pay return shipping).
I’ll fine-tune the edge and send it back.
If I can’t make it right, then you’ll get a refund.

🤝 Final Thought
I don’t need everyone’s business—I just want the right customers.
Be fair, be clear, be respectful—and you’ll get the same from me.
Thanks to all the great customers who make this possible. You know who you are.
