Burgon and Ball Razor Hoe. Right Handed

Product Information

The ultimate one handed weeding hoe. It is as simple as that. This traditionally Japanese garden hoe is sharp, tough and versatile, and, like almost all Japanese garden tools, it is intuitive to use. Applying a warm, wet washcloth to the skin can help soften the skin and draw the ingrown hair out, especially when a person combines it with another option, such as brushing. Manufactured from steel, each of these tools is hardened and tempered to the optimum level for the jobs they perform, and edges are sharpened to allow them slice easily through the soil. Every detail is crafted to ensure our hoes and cultivating tools are a pleasure to use and will last for many years. Ensure the shaving cream is wet when starting to shave, or else rinse the skin and apply more liberally. Our stainless steel long handled hoes and stainless steel long handled cultivator are endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, one of the world’s foremost horticultural organisations and the UK's leading gardening charity. We are confident of the quality of our tools: each RHS-endorsed tool in this collection comes with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Hair removal creams, or depilatories, dissolve the hair and reduce the risk of razor bumps. However, they contain chemicals that can irritate the skin. A person should not use these products if their skin is already inflamed or sensitive. A doctor or pharmacist may recommend over-the-counter (OTC) creams, serums, and cleansers containing steroids to reduce inflammation and manage infection. A mild retinoid can also help prevent razor bumps and acne. Forged from high-carbon laminated steel for strength and edge retention, the head has a razor-sharp edge to glide effortlessly through the soil, and a super-strong hardened tip to bite easily into all types of earth – even clay, baked, or stony ground. At Burgon & Ball, we offer an extensive range of high quality garden tools for cultivating around the garden. These are tough tools for tough jobs: we pay special attention to ergonomic design and use high performance materials. If OTC methods do not help, a doctor may prescribe medication.
