Introducing The Cygnus Tetturium & Acetal Hybrid Safety Razor: An Homage with a Modern Edge |
Made in the USA!

The Cygnus - a razor that bridges the past and future with style, efficiency, and just the right amount of rebellious charm. Inspired by the subtle, haunting elegance of the Merkur 1904 handle and the mysterious allure of the Merkur 71, the Cygnus is our tribute to vintage craftsmanship with a bold, contemporary twist & tweak. Made in the USA, it's not just a razor, it's a piece of history reimagined!
As a lifelong fan of the vintage German razor handles, I was always drawn to their art deco flair, balanced weight & fulcrum. The only thing missing? A grippier surface, especially for shower shavers like me. Enter the Cygnus: longer (3.5"), meatier, and crafted for the modern wet shaver, with just the right amount of knurling. Thanks to the raw Tellurium copper, it has what I call an "Invisi-grip", you'll swear it was coated! I extended the length of the cap so as to cover any blade tabs and flattened the blade posts in the same fashion of all our PAA Razors.
Top Cap & Handle: Polished Tellurium Copper with a matte finish. No plating here, just raw copper that develops a rich, unique patina over time. Want to keep it shiny? A little copper polish does the trick.
Base Plate: FDA-approved Acetal Copolymer, an engineering plastic known for its durability, low moisture absorption, and chemical resistance. It's tough, stable, and built to withstand the rigors of daily shaving. I could have gone with Bakelite but I thought about adding to the history of the design and taking it into the future! Then there's the, dare I say, sexy, luxurious chocolate color of the plate.
Seriously, in combo with the copper it is candy for the eyes!
A Nod to the Past The Merkur 71 is a razor shrouded in mystery, likely born in the mid-20th century (but I suspect earlier). Its exaggerated lather gutters and bakelite base plate whisper of an era long gone, possibly shaped by wartime resourcefulness. (at least in regard to the bakelite model. Yep, they also offered a metal base plate at some time and multiple handles too!). We've captured that spirit, blending it with modern materials and design tweaks for a razor that feels both timeless and cutting-edge. Why The Cygnus Tellurium & Acetal Hybrid Safety Razor? The name Cygnus is a multi-layered homage. It draws inspiration from Disney's sci-fi classic, The Black Hole, while also honoring the old-school Shavelandia tradition of naming razors after birds (don't ask me why this became a thing). But Cygnus isn't just any bird, it's the swan, a timeless symbol of grace and strength, much like this epic razor itself.
For those in the know, there's also a playful "tip of the top hat" to Marc Bolan (pun absolutely intended, if you know, you know), adding another layer of charm. The phrase "Tellurium & Acetal Hybrid" carries a detightfully retro sci-fi/pulp vibe, perfectly aligning with the razor's (and our) aesthetic. I like to think of it as word-collage, weaving together references to create a rich, thematic experience from the name to the design, to the shave!
