A couple of years ago I was on a hunt for the quintessential shaving blade; I saw more than a number of different style before settling on one, but never did I come across such a deadly looking one as the George Christou ‘G Blade.’
Looking more like a weapon than a safe shaving knife, the George Christou ‘G Blade’ resurfaces the classic butterfly knife with a gangster twist. The designers take? Shaving is for men. With the art of shaving slowly dying, Christou has decided to take matters into his own hands.
