Stateroom Razor by Oceanus Brass
by Oceanus Brass
Made to enhance your style, the OceanusBrass Stateroom Razor is the statement piece of your morning ritual. Tied to the art and science of sailing and exploration, the Stateroom Razor blends modern engineering with the proven reliability of an iconic, hundred-year-old design.
Machined from solid brass, the Stateroom Razor was designed to withstand the test of time. Its open-tooth comb sails through the hair and its precision-cut head spaces the blade perfectly from the skin, ensuring a clean and safe shave. The classic single-blade design is gentle on the skin, cutting the hair as closely as comfortably possible.
Responsible, eco-friendly experience. The Stateroom Razor is one for the ages — built to outlast all plastic alternatives and then some, with a recyclable and easily available disposable blade. The Stateroom Razor is a step-up in your quality of life.
Stylish in and of itself, the Stateroom Razor is not only functional but also eye-catching. The barber's pole-inspired wavy cutout pays tribute to the traditional craft of shaving while providing a firm, ergonomic grip.
Transform the act of shaving. The Stateroom Razor’s timeless elegance and functionality give the ordinary act of shaving a whole new meaning.
Stainless steel blades are considered by experts as the best for shaving, making for a close, comfortable shave. Stainless steel absorbs heat very quickly: running your Stateroom Razor blade under warm water before shaving is ideal to intensify the relaxing nature of wet shaving.
The universal double-edged, stainless steel blade present in the Stateroom Razor can be found in any drugstore or convenience store. It lasts more than a couple of shaves, and when it does get dull, it is easy to replace and recycle.
One stroke is all you need to smooth out your skin. Ideal for a precision finish and styling, the Stateroom Razor with a Stainless Steel Blade will help you achieve your perfect look.
Long gone is the time when one would need to rely on a barber to get a nice shave without risking hurting oneself. The idea of adding a protective guard to straight razors dates back to the 1700s, but it was only in the 1900s that protective devices referred to as safety razors were developed, together with the idea of using disposable blades.
A key landmark in the history of safety razors was related to one of the biggest moments in global history: World War I. A dramatic increase in the popularity of safety razors was caused by an agreement signed by the US Armed Forces, which included providing shaving kits containing this type of razor to all servicemen.
To this day, the safety razor is the closest you can get to the efficiency of traditional barber’s blades in the comfort of your home, with the protection ensured by the device. Loved by those who appreciate the pleasing art of wet shaving, a safety razor is the right shaving instrument to have in your stateroom as you sail towards your next adventure.
The design of the Stateroom Razor’s handle draws inspiration from the iconic barber’s pole, whose origin can be traced back to the Middle Ages in Europe. Back then, cutting hair and trimming beards was part of the job of dentists and surgeons — who were then known as barber-surgeons.
The original barber’s poles had only red and white stripes, representing blood and bandages; the blue stripes were a later addition, used especially in America. There are theories that it was added to pay homage to the American flag, while other theories suggest that it was added to differentiate the professions as they grew apart.
Substantially influential in Western culture, the barber’s pole motif also plays an important role in the nautical field: it is used as a daymark and navigational aid for lighthouses all over the world — the so-called barber-pole lighthouses. When you see the spiral pattern on the horizon, you know you are arriving at your destination.
The Stateroom Razor has been manufactured to thrive over decades of use, under all of the conditions you intend to throw it through. What was once a labor of love, is now a timeless utility instrument available for all, but we need your help to make this dream a reality.
Our products are steeply discounted off retail prices because we want to reward our very first customers. The opportunity to purchase a safety razor of this magnitude at this price is rare. With our finishing assembly, our master craftsmanship, the Stateroom Razor, with your help, shall be accessible to all.
We stand behind the quality of our tools and the uniqueness and complexity of our hardware. Each piece has its own unique character that we hope will bring joy and nostalgia when put into action.
The Oceanus Brass Stateroom Razor is currently spec'd to be as followed. As with any project not yet complete, these dimensions may change slightly over time as we optimize our manufacturing systems and the tool's design:
- Length (with bow-shackle): ~4 3/8" (111mm)
- Width: ~1 3/4" (44mm)
- Handle diameter: ~3/8" (9mm)
- Weight: ~3oz (85g)
The versatility of the Bow-Shackle made it an indispensable tool on the seas, and it continues to impress today. Creativity is your only boundary when putting the Bow-Shackle to use.
The Bow-Shackle makes for a helpful attachment point. You can hang your Stateroom Razor on your cabin's wall, or easily attach it to your backpack, sailing jacket, or any outdoor equipment.
With our design roots in Boston, our company draws creative inspiration from the hub of America’s rich nautical history. In developing our product, our original prototypes and inspiration came from the old shipyards of East Boston.
The nautically-inspired Stateroom Razor harkens back to a time of adventure on open seas, its durability a testament to the harsh demands of that bygone era. Our hardware is tied to the art and science of sailing and exploration. We’ve spent months refining the Stateroom Razor into its final, perfectly balanced form.
Inspired by nautical-grade hardware, the Stateroom Razor is Oceanus's signature shaving instrument. Its unique rich color and practical beauty are perfect for everyday use, travel, or adventure.
Since launching our first product, the Oceanus Brass - Bow Shackle Pen, we are so proud to have been embraced by the ocean-loving community. It's because of our incredibly amazing backers that we have been to achieve amazing feats, such as receiving the "Project We Love" badge on the launch day of this campaign!
Our backers can be found throughout the whole world, and they are equally present on social media! Below are a few of our favorite excerpts of what our backers are saying about our products:
We launched Oceanus Brass because we wanted to share our nautically inspired safety razor with the world and turn an idea into action. A project that was both challenging and rewarding, the Oceanus Brass Stateroom Razor is something we are very proud to share with you. We hope to encourage others to try their hand at something new just as we did, to build something of their own, to go through that exploration process of learning and bringing inspiration to fruition. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the many relationships we’ve built along the way with industrial designers and manufacturers who helped us push the boundaries of what we were told was possible.
Since launching our first product, the Oceanus Brass - Bow Shackle Pen, we are so proud to have been embraced by the ocean-loving community. Below are a few of our favorite excerpts of what the experts are saying about our products;
Maxim:"The rustproof folding pocket knife was launched as the 15th Kickstarter campaign by exploration-themed tool manufacturer Oceanus Brass. The project has received nearly $240,000 in funding from over 4,200 backers in two weeks, so the Kraken Blade is officially happening."
Cool Material:"The Kraken is built to last and should garner ample attention from onlookers when you break it out from your everyday carry set."
The Awesomer: "From the makers of the Bosun’s Edge knife comes another beautiful, nautically-inspired tool. The Kraken Blade packages a sharp and replaceable utility blade into an elegant solid brass handle."
Cool Material: "If your EDC needs some serious knife variety, the nautically-themed Bosun’s Edge Knife should fit in perfectly. Both utilitarian and artful, the Bosun’s Edge is made from solid brass and uses a replaceable utility blade for perpetual sharpness on the cheap."
Life In The Slow Lane: "It's a beautiful pen and we'll enjoy having it on our boat, and it'll make a wonderful heirloom to pass down to our grandson one day. Maybe he'll even have a special boat to keep it on."
My2Fish: "The solid brass construction is nearly indestructible, so for the cost of pen ink refill every couple of years, this pen will likely last forever."
Sailing Britican: "In the past, I’ve been known to tape string to the end of a pen or tie string around a cap but it inevitably fails when someone gives a little tug, and off my pen goes. In other words, my efforts to prevent other pen thieves have failed miserably…but not with my bow-shackle pen! I have it attached to my nav station book rail."
Dinghy Dreams: "Even though I’m ink rich right now I keep navigating back to the same one, my shackle pen by Oceanus Brass. Nautically inspired and handcrafted by a small start-up company in Boston, Mass., this pen is nearly impossible to lose as it has a shackle to attach to logbooks, dry bags, or wherever you see fit aboard your vessel. As I’ve been route planning for my upcoming voyage this pen has been seeing much use and it writes just as smoothly as the day it came out of the box."
These are targeted milestones for us to hit as a community. If we do hit these goals, each and every backer benefits! We'll send out the item from the corresponding tier with each Stateroom Razor, depending on where we finish. Below is the breakdown of stretch goals:
- [UNLOCKED] $30k — We will start manufacturing the razors before the campaign ends, which will move the shipping date up by up to four weeks (depending on when we unlock the reward!).
- $60k — Every razor backer gets an extra stainless steel double-edge blade.
BUYING: You must certify that you are 18+ years of age, that you are legally able to purchase this item and that you will use it responsibly.
We intend to include a standard universal double-edge blade with each Stateroom Razor purchased (or two blades when the stretch goal is unlocked!). For international backers, an option may be made available during the fulfillment process to possibly have the blades removed from the shipment altogether — we had this request during the fulfillment of the Bosun's Edge campaign, and already implemented it in our Kraken Blade campaign. As with all campaigns, customs/duty fees are the responsibility of the backer. In the past, it hasn't been an issue, but with strange occurrences such as Brexit, we will do our best to support however possible.
To keep up the momentum, please share the campaign on social media and or tell your friends, co-workers, and neighbors about us! We are so excited to start making your Oceanus Brass Stateroom Razor!
Success!
