The Tondeo TM Razor is a professional grade 'straight' razor used by barbers all over the world. Easier handling & safer use is provided by the protected blade edges on both sides and resting a finger on the curved 'tang' allows the razor to be steadied. It features a solid metal blade holder and metal handle with a plastic shell. It is compatible with short, halved TCR blades. The Tondeo TM has all the advantages of an open razor but the added hygiene of replacable blades.
