Bassguy has a razor like that, and he sent her to me to play with for a while. It was a bit of a challenge to shave with; his was a lot smaller than it looked in the photos. It's definitely a cool razor, but I wouldn't want one myself.

If honed properly, these razors are a ton of fun. I'm waiting to unpack my microscope before touching up my Saito, but I know that when I do I'll have to sit down, slow down, and really give this blade the respect it deserves.
I'm afraid the edge was lacking when Dylan played with it and this may have effected his level of excitement.
I could never get the hang of even the best kamisori, but this thing is definitely a uniquely Japanese take on the shaving art that resonates with me.
My dad just looked at the auction and remarked how it resembles a raptor claw.

I wonder if the people bidding realize how small that razor is . I took a set of calipers and measured the blade against the ruler in the pic . It's 3-5/8" from the pivot hole to the toe , and the actual blade is 2-1/4" .
Greetings , from Dundalk , Maryland . The place where normal people , fear to go .

The bloody thing is practically round, so shouldnt we be measuring it with Pi R2 or some such?
