The Shaving Shack - 'The Claw' Open Comb Double Edge Razor Head

The Claw Open Comb Double Edge Razor Head

Give your existing razor handle a different shaving character with The Claw from The Shaving Shack. This chrome-plated zinc alloy head features an open comb design and an aggressive shaving feel, making it an option for wet shavers who prefer a more assertive razor.

If you already own a compatible three-piece razor handle, changing the head lets you explore a different setup without buying another complete razor. The Claw is supplied as a razor head only; a handle is not included.

Open comb design

The comb-style guard has individual teeth rather than a continuous safety bar. The original product description compares The Claw’s aggressive shave with a Fatip razor, although the feel will also depend on your chosen blade, handle and technique. It is best approached with a light touch rather than extra pressure.

Handle compatibility

The Claw uses a standard M5 thread, suitable for a number of three-piece razor handles, including compatible models from Mühle, Edwin Jagger and Parker. Compatibility can vary by model, so check your handle’s thread before ordering rather than assuming every handle from these brands will fit.

Getting the most from your shave

Prepare your beard with warm water and a well-hydrated lather, then use short, controlled strokes with minimal pressure. Start by shaving with the direction of hair growth while you get used to the head. Rinse away lather and hair regularly, and avoid repeatedly passing over the same area without fresh lather.
