Product Overview

 Leather Razor 60 by Leather Doctor® is a professional-grade leather razor equipped with a 60mm Ø tungsten carbide blade designed to safely shave off unwanted leather finishes—such as worn, over-applied, or cracking topcoats—during the wet leather restoration process.

 Tungsten Ø60mm Wet-Shave Razor for Topcoat Removal

Engineered for use on hydrated and fatliquored leather, this precision tool mimics the action of a razor blade but with specialized control for leather work. Its slanted design and ergonomic grip allow for targeted, even-pressure shaving, making it ideal for preparing leather surfaces for topcoat refinishing while preserving the natural grain underneath.

 Key Features

      • Ø60mm Tungsten Blade – Durable and sharp for long-lasting performance.
      • Controlled Shaving – Slanted blade angle provides safety and precision.
      • Used in Wet Process – Reduces risk of fiber damage compared to dry scraping.
      • Prepares Surface for Refinishing – Removes weak, flaking finishes or uneven coatings.
      • Leather-Safe Design – Best used on hydrated and fatliquored leather to preserve tensile strength and flexibility.

People Also Ask

 How do I remove unwanted leather finishes using Leather Razor 60?

To remove unwanted finishes, hold the blade at a shallow slant, with your thumb placed centrally between the index finger and the tool grip. Apply short, firm strokes across taut leather surfaces. The angle ensures the finish shaves off cleanly without digging into the grain.

  Why use Hydrator 3.3 before shaving?

 Hydrator 3.3 rehydrates the leather structure, imparts internal lubrication, and enhances fiber strength. This wetting phase ensures the leather becomes more pliable and less likely to suffer abrasion or tear during mechanical shaving.

  Why apply Fatliquor 5.0 before using Razor 60?

Fatliquor 5.0 replenishes essential fat and oil within the leather’s fiber matrix. This conditioning step increases wet tensile strength, making the leather both stronger and stretchable—key properties needed for the topcoat to shiver and separate under tension while shaving.

  When is the right time to start shaving?

Begin shaving after the leather is fully hydrated and fatliquored. This sequence maximizes softness and flexibility, allowing the leather grain to stretch while the brittle, degraded finish layer remains rigid—making it easier to shave off cleanly.

  Where should I begin shaving?

 Start in weakened areas—such as cracks or spots where the finish is flaking or peeling. Use short, controlled strokes and gradually work across the surface. Always maintain tautness in the working area to help lift and release the brittle finish from the more elastic leather beneath.

  What’s the difference between “wet shaving” and “dry shaving”?

      • Wet shaving is performed during Hydrator 3.3 application, where the leather is moist and lubricated. This allows gentle removal of loose finishes while minimizing abrasion.
      • Dry shaving (after Fatliquor 5.0) is used when more precision or firmness is needed to lift hardened, adhered finishes. While the leather retains internal strength and softness, the surface is no longer wet, allowing closer blade-to-surface contact for controlled shaving.

Here is an example of "wet shaving" topcoat during Hydrator-3.3 and "dry shaving" after Fatliquor-5.0
