The Shaving Shack - 'Hammerhead' Closed Comb Double Edge Razor Head

Hammerhead Closed Comb Double Edge Razor Head

Give your favourite razor handle a different shaving feel with the Hammerhead from The Shaving Shack. This chrome-plated zinc alloy head combines a closed comb design with a more assertive shaving character, offering a way to change your setup without buying another complete razor.

A step up in shaving feel

The Hammerhead is described as slightly more aggressive than familiar razors such as the Mühle R89, Edwin Jagger DE89 and Merkur 34C. That makes it worth considering if you enjoy a closed comb design but want to explore a different feel. Your blade choice, handle and technique will also influence the shave, so start with light pressure while you get used to it.

Check your handle’s fit

A standard M5 thread allows the Hammerhead to fit a number of three-piece razor handles, including compatible models from Mühle, Edwin Jagger and Parker. Check your particular handle’s thread before ordering, as compatibility can vary between models.

• Chrome-plated zinc alloy construction.
• Standard M5 handle thread.
• Supplied as a razor head, not a complete razor with a handle.

Build your shaving routine

Pair the head with a compatible handle and your preferred double edge blade. Prepare your stubble with warm water and a well-hydrated lather, then shave with short, controlled strokes. Begin in the direction of hair growth and avoid pressing down to chase a closer result.
