Thread: 8/8 hammer finish Japanese style razor, western grind

I like the looks of that blade. I like the one piece razors that have a bit of heft in the handle. To me, combination of the hefty handle and light blade make the blade feel like a sports car, light weight and highly maneuverable.

If the tale is too heavy you could drill out small holes and put in decorative inserts like abalone or mother of perl.
