A straight razor is a sharp knife blade used for shaving facial hair. Also known as a cutthroat razor, it is made with a long, sharp blade with a rounded edge, which is connected to a wooden or plastic handle that serves as the blade's container when folded. The handle has two scales made of wood, plastic, celluloid, or mother-of-pearl that protect the blade from damage.
