Por Homme – Men's Lifestyle, Fashion, Footwear and Culture Magazine

As Baxter of California celebrates its 45th anniversary, the premium men’s grooming line has been busy as of late. First, J.P. Mastey & Co. opened the doors to the company’s first Barber & Shop in Los Angeles. Now, they’ve unveiled this new limited edition razor blade made in collaboration with American Blade manufacture Hart Steel. The blade dons a 14k gold inlay “45” on the spine of the blackened steel blade, signifying the 45 years of history. In addition, the brand collaborated with leather company Makr Carry Goods to produce a custom leather (Horween Chromexcel Horse Work Butts) sleeve for the blade.

The blade retails for $345 and will be available at Baxter Finley Barber & Shop and online at Baxter later this month.

Well, not quite, but for $30K, we’re assuming those blades are mighty sharp.

HOMMAGE has created a limited edition straight razor forged from legendary Damascene Steel. Combining the best qualities of hard and malleable steel, layer upon layer is folded onto the next, each becoming visible through a meticulous process of grinding and polishing. Hard, durable and incredibly sharp, the characteristic rose and torsion pattern attests to its superior craftsmanship.

There has to be something special about it.  Something they’re not telling us.  It makes pigs fly, makes panties drop, turns us into Batman.  Something.  Anything?  Guess we’ll have to wait until someone coughs up the $30K and lets us know how it goes.
