Japanese Straight Razor Thread

I enjoy using a nice frameback. Well done, on both.

 

Thank you Scott!

 

Big ouch

 

Yep, some of the JRazor prices have skyrocketed. I’ve seen NOS Hitachis bringing $1,700. Why, I have no idea. They’re Yasuki stell but then so are many others that bring more normal prices.

 

Seems like the hitachis, feathers, hoshi tombos are all high dollar

 

The Hoshi Tombo with the long monkey tail yes, the others less so. I assume that you mean Feather traditional straights, but they’ve always been on the high side, probably because of their reputation for quality in shavettes. I’d love to have a nice Feather SR, I don’t have one. And even more, two.

Grabbed a boxed NOS Kikuboshi Swedish Steel Special this morning. This is the one with the decorated spine, kind of unusual for a Japanese razor. Seller’s images.

 

That's a beauty !!!

 

Thank you sir!

If any of you guys have any info about this razor I'd love to hear about it, there are kanji on one side of the tang , and tsc stamped on the other. It's a impressive razor to shave with

 

Nice looking razor. I take it that you are getting the hang of honing now??

Thank you!!! Really stoked to get that one had my eye on it for awhile! I can touch one up if I have to! If it needs more than that I just send it to glen, for the time being. Hoping to make a jnat purchase soon and delve into that more.
