If you are not sure about whether or not you want to make a switch to using a straight razor from your electric razor or even a double-edged safety razor, this Diamond Edge Razor could be one of your best options.

Check out our review to learn more.

What Is The Diamond Edge Razor?

This straight razor style shavette is a light-weight razor that with a black plastic handle.

The blade holder is 100% stainless steel which helps reduce corrosion.

It also comes with 5 double edge blades that you snap in half for 10 blades.

This is a nice starter kit on Amazon since it comes with a few blades already.

You may want to add on a blade variety pack as there is quite a bit of difference in the brands that will affect your shave.

Depending on your beard type, you may get anywhere from 3-5 shaves out of each blade before it begins to dull.

However, the blades are very cheap so you may decide to use a fresh one after each shave. Or if you use this as barber, you will easily be able to change the blades for each customer.

Who Is Diamonds Edge?

Diamond’s Edge is based out of Massachusetts.

They make this type of straight razor in many colors such as

  • Red
  • White
  • Blue
  • Black

They also produce high end barber scissors.

When Should You Change The Blade?

Like we mentioned earlier, most men get 3-5 shaves on average out of each blade if you are using this straight razor at home.

The blade holder easily slides out like an exacto knife. Once it is out simply clip the blade into the holder.

You will want to make sure it is securely in place before you slide back into place.

When you slide it back in, if one sides sticks out more than the other then you have not clipped in place so you should take it back out and make sure it is in place.

Be careful when changing the blades as the edges are very sharp.

Try to only handle the blade by the sides that do not have a sharp edge.

Here is a quick video by Expert Village on changing the blades

 What Are Others Saying About The Diamond Edge Razor?

Customers love this razor because of how cheap it is. For less than $10 you can get this razor to see if you like the idea of using a straight edge razor.

Just make sure you have the right expectations.

Since it is so affordable it won’t feel like a sturdy razor that is made with steel or chrome plated brass.

You may seem negative reviews about how cheap the razor is, well it is!

That doesn’t mean it is a bad choice. It will hold the blade securely in place allowing you to get a nice shave.

Many guys also mentioned how sturdy it felt for being so cheap.

That just goes to show you how every man’s beard is different and will have different opinions on the same razor.

However, there is one legitimate complaint that has been written about a couple times.

This model may have been licensed under another brand, Scalp Master, as several customers who ordered the Diamond Edge product have received this one instead.

Some other guys mention you may want to skip ordering this cheap razor and go for a more expensive one since you will enjoy the process.

However, some may enjoy this type of shaving more than others so we would still recommend you try a cheaper razor if you are unsure if you will stick with it.

Where Should You Buy The Diamond Edge Razor?

You can find this great straight razor kit on Amazon for a pretty low price. It only has a 3.5-star rating and about 250 reviews, but it would still make a great starter razor.

You can usually get free shipping on Amazon if you spend at least $35. Maybe you want to add a premium shaving brush or shaving cream to go along with it?

You can also see all of the customer reviews which are nice to read different opinions about the product.

Check Current Price

Conclusion

If you are looking to get into wet shaving with a straight razor for not a lot of money the Diamonds Edge Straight Razor would be a nice option.

It doesn’t have the nicest handle but will securely hold the blade for you to get a nice shave.

It also comes with 10 refills to get you started which will give you a few weeks’ worth of shaves before you have to get more.

    Hi,
    I actually own the Diamonds Edge Straight Razor. All I can say even is a cheaper model, I’m more than satisfied.
    I do have a strong beard, but I keep changing razor after 7 to 10 shaves.
    All in all one of the best razors I’ve ever had.
    Thanks for the nice review.
    All the best!

      That is impressive that you get 7-10 shavers per blade, do you mind sharing which blade you use?

    It looks like beards were trending in 2016 and transitioning smoothly into 2017. Not long ago Diamonds Edge Straight Razor Cut Throat would sound a bit scary to most of the people, but today it’s a cool product.
    Shaving is serious man’s culture.
    You’ve got to treat that well.
    Very informative website.
    Men should check it out.
    Cheers,
    Vitaliy
