Wow, interesting piece. Has anyone here shaved with something similar to that?

Most traditional japanese straights have fixed blades and don't pivot and are one sided. I've seen razors like that which are real old european types.

I think one who would actually shave with that razor has to be a real macho man and very brave.

Hey!
I have one of these!!!

But mine was listed as a Chinese razor.... (My Japanese razor is a blue fixed handle.)

It even has writing on the back of the blade. Anyone know what it says?
I've cleaned mine up since these pictures and honed it a little (I couldn't help it! :)

Hmm.
That's what I thought it said too. I have not tried to shave with it yet though. I did not finish putting an edge on it.

How about the writting on the side of this Japanese one?

"Lather On, Lather off"

Thanks!
It's a rather dynamic collection...

Always changing :)

I'm sure many hear are familiar with my "I need money" Sales.
Only to see me buying a few weeks later. Damn this addiction.

However, a good number of razors do not leave my collection, which make it a liitle unique in styles that remain. I somewhat have an adversion to celluloid handle razors (had one degrade on me and take out a Puma, Duck and old Chopper) and eventually sold off all my celluloid-scale razors and a good number of plastic (1900's) scale razors.

By constatly rotating the collection, I have experience a large number of makes and styles. I soon discovered that the best razors are not always the most famous or fancy. I leave those to the guys with money :)

Damn I missed it!!! Ohwell, it wasnt very physically appealing to me, To much deviation from heel to toe, but it would have been interesting to try :)
