Kudu horn....there is something about them that just screams we are the business! Kudu horn is very thick, so a lot of outer horn can be worked away to deliver a shiny light, translucent pair of scales, some black still firts around on the ends and top side of the scales. The scales are spaced with an African Blackwood wedge. The wide, rough edged steel is 6 mm thick under the thumb, making the need for jimps to improve grip obsolete. The blade has a height of 29 mm and the razor weighs 118 grams, it has a half hollow grind with a 6 mm spine thickness that ensures this beast has lots of meat to work with, the razor is shave ready. Hardness is dialed in at 61-63 HRC. Cold hard steel over your cheeks with horns in your hands....epic!
The Bundu Whacker is range of razors that are meant to fill a void in the market, and as with many new product lines, cost to customer was the biggest criteria. Our main aim is to collaborate with Andre from Grobler Cutlery to produce a handmade razor for around 2-3 k. Off course we had to limit the time spent on fit and finish, but believe us when we say these razors are going to find regular use from novice and experienced shavers alike because they shave well and are very comfortable in hand. Despite the limitations we had on allowable input costs of these razors, the coolness factor was certainly not lost, these are some damn pretty creations and I personally prefer them over most vintage razors I have used, and even some new razors from larger manufacturers. They are all created from raw materials and unique in appearance.
Humidity is your razors's number one enemy, dry properly after use and oil when stored for prolonged periods or when in high humidity environments.
