Who said accessories are only for women to adorn? For all the elite & affluent men out there, here’s your next indispensable purchase. Using the same ancient layering techniques as the Crusaders’ swords, Hommage, the Parisian purveyor of luxury grooming equipment, skincare and spa services for men, has created a limited edition, platinum-sheathed straight razor. Called the Damascene Razor, the blade is hand-forged in Germany with 128 layers of legendary Damascene steel, with a rose and torsion pattern. The name Damascene is itself attributed to the steel swords made in the vicinity of Damascus, Syria which gained its mythical reputation during the medieval Crusades and was said to be able so strong enough as to be able to cut through a rock without losing its sharpness.”

The sheath of the blade is plated in pure platinum, treated to resist tarnishing and the razor is shipped in a lacquered gift box of Tanzanian anigré wood. So next time, garnish yourself with the smooth & honeyed shaving experience with the novel platinum razor.
