Wow ! That blade is cool.
I would love to own that one, although the price point would probably be higher than my personal price point.
Nice razor! Besides stropping concerns you may find it a bit more of a challenge to hone and maintain the edge. Congrats.
The razor arrived today! It is much smaller than I thought it would be, in overall size. Below is a picture of it next to my daintiest blade, the Heljestrand 31.
Interestingly though, it weighs in at 50 grams, almost as much as my rescaled Filarmonica DT 13! The spine is quite thick, there's a lot of steel here.
This is also, to my knowledge, the first bellied hollow ground razor I've come across. I think you can clearly see the belly in the photo. I'm very interested to see what the belly is all about.
It's sharp, no doubt about that! I hope to shave with it tonight, keep an eye out in the regular SOTD haunts.
The seller is a good guy, I think.
Can anyone help me out with the kanji, both on the blade and in the box?
