Up for sale is my Jerry Stark custom razor. The blade is finished in grey and differentially hardened giving it a beautiful hamon line. I picked a piece of beautiful koa for the scales. The overall aesthetic is a nod to J-knives. I ordered this razor days before Jerry announced his retirement from making razors and it arrived marked as his 660th custom. I had the razor traditionally peened which I find more functional and aesthetically pleasing than the torx system Jerry typically used. The steel is W2 which I find similar to White # 2. It is easy to sharpen and maintain and if it is your thing, you can put a scary sharp edge on it that seems to stay on there forever. Heat treat seems to be spot on. The razor is nicely balanced and a great shaver overall. The craftsmanship is flawless.

Condition-wise the razor appears as it did when it first arrived and has been through one full honing progression plus a touch up or two.

A serious case of razor acquisition syndrome is the reason for the sale. I'm way overdue for a herd thinning. Too many razors, too little time.

Most experienced straight users prefer their own edge, but I can hone this razor on a choice of synthetic or natural stones as per the buyer’s preference. The razor will ship fully sterilized and ready for use.

The price is 250USD including insured, trackable shipping from Canada to the US or Canada. Shipping is within 2 business days of confirmed payment. Payment via PayPal preferred. Canadians may pay Interac upon request. Please contact for overseas shipping.

Specifications are as follows:

Blade style: Straight, barber’s notch. Jimps on tang.
Blade grind: ½ hollow.
Blade steel: W2.
Blade width: 6/8.
Blade length: Standard – slightly under 3 inches.
Scales: Resin stabilized koa.

Please PM with questions or comments.

Thanks for looking.
