  2. Yes,please tell. I want to know also. I’ve seen a few for sale on the bay, but the starting price is more than I’d care to pay.

  3. Ebay and I paid more than I should have. Came by way of Poland.

    On the left it it literally says “cat mark”, meaning Cat brand. On the right the literal translation is shaving knife which means straight razor.

  10. Thanks, Keith. I was hoping you might know something about this razor.
  11. Today's shave was with a Folding Japanese Kamasori razor. I had a very smooth and silent 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues. This is a well made razor. I did put a symmetrical edge on it, even though it is ground asymmetrically. It seems to work better, with my one handed shaving style.

    Razor- Japanese Suzuki No.1. Asymmetrical grind.
    Brush- RazoRock 400 with a Whipped Dog High Mountain Badger Knot.
    Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy scented
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Ships Lantern Decanter. MMM MMMM Good.

    Today's razor was the 352 6/8 Le Grelot Lotus that I honed up this morning. Cream was SMN lathered with a Tulip 2 and a splash of Lucky Tiger topped everything off. It was a wonderful shave - love that French steel.

    Cheers, Steve
  13. I have never seen one before, I’m tempted to buy just because it has Korean writing. I checked on the bay and the tang says the factory name is February 26. I have no idea what significance that date has in North Korea. I have never seen a straight made in South Korea.

    I wonder if it is legal to own one in the south? :signs002:

  15. A simply wonderful shave. Snuck up on me as the first two passes were good but unremarkable. The end was anything but. :happy036:
