In order to be able to ship this razor quickly, this razor is NOT available with substitutions. All of our other options will be available again in the near future.

The Christopher Bradley razor is a classic double edge safety razor that will provide a smooth shave and years of service. All aspects of manufacture are meticulously controlled to provide consistent performance and clean aesthetics. 

Most notably, the handle is decorated with a pattern that is inspired by the centuries-old guilloche technique commonly used in watch making. The pattern is cut into the body of the handle, instead of formed, which ensures that all of the edges of the pattern are smooth and clean, while still providing plenty of friction for wet fingers.

The handle is inspired by a pattern that is centuries old and derives from the tartan of Clan Campbell of Argyll in western Scotland. The spelling of the name is inspired by the main road of the same name near our shop!

The razor is built with a widebody (WB) cap, a solid bar B plate (SB-B), and a 3.50" handle.

The widebody cap covers the blade's tabs. The original (OG) cap, which does not cover the blade's tabs, is available separately.

The SB-B plate employs neutral geometry, which offers smooth shaves with mild efficiency, free of irritation. Other solid bar and open comb plates are available separately (in various levels of efficiency). Click here for a chart describing the different levels.

The 3.5" handle is the most popular length across all of Karve's razors. Other lengths and other handle styles are available separately.

All handles employ a #10-32 thread.

Please note, the lengths listed here are nominal lengths. Please visit this page for details on the other handle series and their lengths.

The entire razor is constructed from solid stainless steel and is bead blasted for a subtle matte finish. After bead blasting, all parts are passivated. Click here for more information on passivation.

The razor is complete and only requires a blade to be ready to use.

Julian ★★★★★

The WB cap and SB-B plate combo gives just the right amount of blade exposure for a close shave without irritation. The Argyll handle’s grip is fantastic even when my hands are soapy, and the whole thing feels like it’ll outlast everything else in my cabinet.

Edward Z. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the gap between the cap and the SB-B plate, but it’s an incredibly smooth shave with zero irritation. The 3.5" handle gives just the right balance for a confident grip, even in the shower.

Julian Y. ★★★★★

The WB cap paired with the SB-B plate gives an incredibly smooth yet efficient shave—I used it for the first time this morning and didn't get a single nick. The stainless steel build feels substantial in hand, and the 3.5" handle length gives me solid control around the jawline.
