SCALPMASTER Professional Straight Razor w/5 Blades – SC – 1100

The SCALPMASTER Professional Straight Razor w/5 Blades (SC-1100) seems to be a misleadingly named product. Here’s why:

• Straight Razor vs. Double-Edge Safety Razor:
  • Straight razors are traditional shaving tools with a single, non-replaceable blade that requires stropping for maintenance.
  • The description of having 5 “blades” suggests it’s actually a double-edge safety razor. These use replaceable double-edged blades and have a guard between the blade and skin to prevent nicks.

Safety razors are a good middle ground for those who want a closer shave than a cartridge razor but don’t want the learning curve and potential irritation of a true straight razor.
