    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!

    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
