Description
This razor was handcrafted by Robert Quinn from Pistachio wood that originated in Central Asia and the Middle East. Known for their edible nuts, the wood of Pistachio trees is uniquely beautiful, though not often seen or used in wooden objects. The Pistachio tree is long-lived, possibly up to 300 years and each tree averages providing about 50,000 nuts every two years. The improper storage of pistachio products in bulk containers has been known to start fires. Because of their high fat and low water contents, the nuts and especially kernels are prone to self-heating and spontaneous combustion when stored with oil-soaked fiber or fibrous materials.
The 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 handle is turned on a lathe and polished to a brilliant luster.
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.
