Water buffalo horn is black, sometimes streaked with light, very pleasant to the touch, resistant to moisture and soap, and therefore a perfect material for razor handles.
The feel of the material is, as with all types of horn, excellent and cannot be achieved with plastic to date.
The conical, square shape of this razor provides particularly good grip and is easy to hold even with large hands.
The look is simply beautiful—and unique, too. After all, it's a naturally grown piece of horn.
The razor is equipped with a Schick System pivoting blade holder in gold (color). (This is rare, but otherwise offers no advantage over regular pivoting blade holders.)

The horn handle is comfortable to hold and is carefully wax polished so that it will last a very long time.

Handle length: approx. 10 cm
Total length with blade approx. 14 cm

Weight: approx. 45 grams




Gillette Contour (or Contour PLUS)?

With this system, the razor blades are attached to the razor holder using movable hooks.

This causes the blade to "swing" up and down, which is intended to
that the blades can better follow the contours of the skin.
Especially in the USA, the system became known under the trade names "Atra" or "Vector".
The addition "Plus" means that a so-called "Lubrastrip" is attached to the blades, which is intended to improve the gliding properties of the blade.
Only in the case of the "Vector" does "Plus" mean that a small plastic slider is attached to the blade,
which is designed to make it easier to remove the hair between the blades.

Other manufacturers have also launched this system under other brands:

Wilkinson Contact

Wilkinson Profile
Wilkinson Duplo II
Schick Ultra Plus
Schick Super II
Personna Auto
Personna Duofit
Old Spice High Endurance (3-blade)
Noxzema Triple Blade (3 blades)
