Blue Steel – 1920’s Formula After Shave Splash
By Beard Knife
Step back into the Jazz Age with a fragrance forged in steel and smoke. Blue Steel is a bold after shave splash crafted for men who cut a sharp figure and command the room. Inspired by the refined grit of the 1920s, it strikes with a clean, invigorating sting before settling into a sophisticated masculine warmth.
The opening spark of bergamot and cinnamon sets the stage, fresh yet fiery. Bay leaf and rose follow with a daring herbal-floral heart, softened and deepened by sacred frankincense. Finally, the fragrance grounds itself in enduring woods and musk, leaving behind a smooth, commanding trail that lingers like a timeless memory.
Bracing. Distinguished. Unapologetically masculine. Blue Steel is more than an aftershave—it’s a statement.

1920’s Formula – Revived for the Modern Gentleman.
🔥 Why It Stands the Test of Time
Genuine bay leaf infusion – No shortcuts, no synthetic imitations
Classic barbershop aroma – Spicy clove, cinnamon warmth, and a whisper of citrus
Clean finish – Tightens pores, tones skin, and leaves you feeling fresh without residue
Alcohol-based splash infused with Witch Hazel – Just like granddad used after a straight razor shave
✨ The Experience
It hits your skin with a bracing burn, then settles into a warm, woodsy glow—like the echo of a straight razor on leather strop. It’s the kind of scent that whispers “gentleman” but leaves an impression like a signature.
If you’re chasing something classic, bold, and timeless, this is your splash.
The past never smelled so sharp.
Be warned this product is not returnable if opened/used as it cannot be resold.
Know your allergies. Like everything in life some people are irritated by just about anything. Personally I get some redness on my cheeks from Witch Hazel. It goes away quickly so I'm not sure if it's a reaction or just the effect it has. I still use it regularly and I'm happy to report my face has not fallen off and I love the product.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: You are responsible for your countries taxes not me. If you place an order and I ship the order and it comes back to me because you refused to pay your own import fees or taxes I will NOT issue a refund. So I highly recommend you pay your duties OR do NOT order from BeardKnife. This removes my product from inventory, it costs me twice as much to ship, my seller fees are greater than your tax obligation. I don't like taxes either...but I'm not responsible for your taxes. I cannot ban buyers but not every customer is a paying customer and I do not want you to purchase from me if you cannot satisfy the terms of the listing. You drive up prices for all the other customers who want what they order. Don't be that guy.((This notice is on all listings may not apply to THIS listing: please look at item descriptions before purchasing any items))
Nos definition: New old stock. It means the razor is OLD but not used. So you will not have a razor that is honed or stropped by me. You will have a brand new factory edge. Which usually is shave ready but often will require immediate or quicker work to get the edge how YOU prefer. They are usually the most expensive razors because they are best preserved. By honing them I would be devaluing them. IF you don't care and want me to hone a NOS razor contact me prior to purchase and let me know. Many people put their razors are NOS just to get views and it has no meaning to them just like "shave ready" is not true for most online sellers these days.
Shave ready definition:
Shave ready means different things to different people. It's often just added to titles to increase sales. I use the term honestly. It passes all industry standards of shave readiness and has been put through the described process. If you are looking for a razor that you can take out of the box....and shave with. That's what shave ready is supposed to mean. Worked on by a professional.
My 2 cents on hone wear and scratches. It's a tool. Don't worry about them. Some people tape spines I do not unless stated and for a specific reason. My goal is to maintain the geometry of the razor not manipulate it and provide the best shaving razor not simply a perfect razor. No shave ready razor is in mint but I do my best to balance ALL pros and cons to provide the most trustworthy cutthroat.
My return policy is simple.
NO returns.
Why?
Because sellers are already losing money on postage, paying HIGH fees to make products available. When an item is SOLD it can no longer be SOLD. Contrary to popular belief nothing is free and the BUYER pays all costs. There are a lot of games we are forced to play like "free shipping" and 30 day refunds...I don't play those games. If you don't want the product...don't buy it.
If you do want it...keep it.
I can't afford to lose money or sales for customers I'd rather not keep. It sounds harsh but I assure you...it's true. I don't need everyone's business nor do I want everyone's business.
When you provide things like soaps, lotions, and other consumables a return goes into the trash and the cost of the item is increased to absorb loss. That's not fair to good customers.
It's near impossible already to keep prices down with inflation and an incompetent government constantly disrupting the markets. Antiques razors are carefully packaged by me to assure they arrive safely. When BAD customers return items they also don't care to package them properly and I end up with a $200 dollar loss plus postage and that's not a sustainable business model. If you want to try things and return them but cheap Chinese junk from Amazon and go nuts. When you are THE best at something you can be selective with your policies and customers. Please note IF something is NOT as described or you receive the wrong item entirely I am of course going to correct MY mistake. Buyer remorse is not something I take responsibility for. Providing HIGH quality products at the lowest price possible is a near impossible task these days. Many items I lose money on just to make something available. I have no use for used cosmetics and I do not want them back. If a razor is not shaving to your satisfaction I will allow a return within 30 days. (buyer pays return postage) I will pay to ship it back and I will assure the razor edge it is adjusted to your needs. If for some reason I cannot do so then and ONLY then will I issue a refund. I'd rather lose a bad customer than increase cost on a good one. Fortunately almost ALL of my customers have been awesome and return requests are extremely rare. I do appreciate you guys! Also a word of advice...if you want to try a product and you don't like the fragrance DON'T buy more than one! Scented products are all preference based. I've bought many products I don't prefer. I eat the loss because I chose to buy it. Big retailers can eat the loss...us little guys cannot. If you have QUESTIONS about an item...please write to me about them BEFORE purchasing. That way you can assure you get what you want before either of us waste our time and money.
