Substantial. Balanced. Precise.
You can feel the difference the moment you pick it up. El Grande is not a hollow, lightweight razor trying to fake quality with chrome plating and marketing language. It is a solid 90-gram shaving tool built to feel planted in the hand and let gravity do the work.
That weight starts in the handle. We machine it from a solid rod of brass, then turn it to a thick 14mm diameter that fills the hand with real substance. Deep, aggressive knurling gives you a secure grip even when your fingers are wet, slick, or covered in lather, so the razor stays controlled from the first pass to the last.
The head is built around the proven closed comb Model 89 geometry, a design known for hitting the sweet spot between comfort and efficiency. It gives you the kind of shave that works as a daily driver: close enough to satisfy, forgiving enough to keep irritation in check. That makes El Grande a strong fit for both first-time safety razor users and experienced wet shavers who want a dependable, no-drama tool.
The finish is built to match the feel. Each razor is hand-polished, then triple plated with copper, nickel, and chrome for corrosion resistance, durability, and a bright, clean finish that belongs on the counter for years.
This is the razor for the man who wants his shave to feel more controlled, more intentional, and more substantial from the moment the handle hits his palm.
Load a blade, let the weight do the work, and make El Grande the anchor of your shave routine.
Options & Differences
Heavy. Balanced. Built to shave right.

Everything you need to get started right away.
how to use it
Insert a standard double edge blade and assemble the three-piece razor securely before shaving. Wet the beard thoroughly, build a proper lather, and shave with short, controlled strokes.
Let the weight of the razor do the work. Do not press down like you would with a cartridge razor. The closed comb head is designed to deliver a comfortable, efficient shave with a lighter touch and better control.
Rinse the razor during the shave as needed, then disassemble and dry it after use to keep it clean and performing its best.
The Story
El Grande was built around a simple idea: a safety razor should feel like a real tool the second you pick it up.
Too many razors feel light, disposable, or disconnected from the shave itself. They ask the user to compensate with extra pressure, more passes, or more guesswork. El Grande was designed to go the other direction — heavier in the hand, more stable in motion, and easier to control when paired with proper technique.
The combination of a solid brass handle, deep knurling, and proven closed comb geometry gives it the kind of planted, dependable feel that turns a daily shave into something more deliberate and more satisfying. It is not flashy for the sake of being flashy. It is substantial because that makes the shave better.
The result is a razor built to earn its place in the routine day after day — a dependable daily driver for the man who wants better control, better feel, and a more traditional shave done right.
