Asylum 17-4 DE Razor -Alternate Handle

$ 269.95

The highly anticipated Asylum 17-4 razors are here. This heirloom piece is precisely machined out of 17-4 stainless steel and polished to a high finish. There is minimal blade feel and the razor feels mild in use yet it is efficient enough to yield an irritation free BBS shave in two passes plus a little touch up. It makes the perfect daily driver.

The razors are individually numbered and feature the updated base plates that were released in August.

Because of the high shine, taking a product picture was a challenge. The razor pictured in my hand is of the polished razor. The razor pictured with the box is the stainless steel prototype prior to polishing.

Only 100 razors were produced. These razors are individually numbered with the serial number listed on the side of the baseplate. Be sure to grab one while you can.

Great razor

I love this razor

17 4 razor

A very high quality Nicely finished razor . Very mild as advertised , smooth and non irritating to the skin . They recommend a steeper angle much like a Feather D2S and this does improve the efficiency . A great daily driver .

Excellent Razor

Gorgeous combination of the Asylum 17-4 razor head and a well made alternate handle, with an excellent finish. Very smooth and efficient shave. Shipping was very fast. I am pleased with the the purchase.

Smooth yet efficient razor

I read that there was a ton of drama with the first batch of the Asylum 17-4 razor. I can say with this version all problems are solved. The razor is well made, finish is top notch and it provides a really smooth but efficient shave. The only criticism is that the handle is a bit slippery due to its high polished surface. Nevertheless this is no show stopper. Great addition to my den and highly recommended.
