New Hart Steel

**mdwright** · 01-26-2012, 01:12 AM

Today I received my new Hart Steel 6/8, 1/4 ground, round point, jimped, polished finish, with cocobolo scales.

The workmanship is very nice; the one-piece cocobolo scales are beautiful. I especially like the allen head 'pin' which I can adjust to suit my preference with the included allen wrench.

As for my first shave with this new razor, all I can say is "WOW"!. I've been straight shaving for about 3 years and this was my best shave ever. Before this Hart Steel arrived, my favorites were:

Dovo Best Quality 6/8
Dovo Special 6/8
Boker Edelweiss 5/8
Boker Stainless 5/8
Fredrick Reynolds Sheffield wedge

This Hart goes to the head of the list. I've never had a razor wipe away my tough 3 day old beard as effortlessly as this Hart just did.

Highly recommended! (FWIW)

What a great thing indeed... enjoy and congrats!

Congrats on the new razor, It's always good to hear others supporting an American made product.

I have the 7/8 square point, jimped, polished finish, with cocobolo scales. It is a huge beast!

Enjoy your new baby mdwright

I've just recently gotten into straight razor shaving and I only have a Dovo special. However, I'm a big fan of "buying American" especially with new production. I was a little nervous about shelling out a the money for a Hart without reading some reviews. This one and others like it have made my decision. I'm thinking of a 6/8 quarter ground, round point. I haven't decided if I want the pearlex scales, but I may go with plain white.

Anyone have experience with the round point?

Congrats! The Hart Steel razors are great shavers, I've had a similar one that recently had to move out to make room for a new family member, but a 7/8 square will probably fill the void in not too long.
