Description
This TruStone razor was handcrafted by Robert Quinn from Blue Lapis. This opaque, deep blue gemstone has a grand past. It was among the first gemstones to be worked on and worn as jewelry. At excavations in the ancient centers of culture around the Mediterranean, archaeologists have again and again found among the grave furnishings decorative chains and figures made of Lapis – clear indications that the deep blue stone was already popular thousands of years ago among the people of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome. It is said that the legendary city of Ur on the Euphrates plied a keen Lapis trade as long ago as the fourth millennium B.C., the material coming to the land of the two great rivers from the famous deposits in Afghanistan. In other cultures, Lapis was regarded as a holy stone. Particularly in the Middle East, it was thought to have magical powers.
This razor handle can be fitted with either a Mach 3 or a Fusion head. Please select your preference from the available options.
The Gillette Mach 3 is a line of safety razors introduced in 1998 and the three blade design allows for a shave with less pressure to the skin and with fewer strokes, thereby reducing skin irritation.
The Gillette Fusion is a line of safety razors introduced in 2006. The Fusion has five blades on the front, and a single sixth blade on the rear for precision trimming and a smooth, comfortable shave.
