A modern take on the Japanese razor...

**Russel Baldridge** · 06-05-2008, 05:49 AM

So this is the latest (and greatest?) JPN style razor to come out of my shop. It is a more modern interpretation of the minimalist styling with a very English grind.

Same stats as usual, but this one got a much finer polish (it is very reflective, but a truly scratch free mirror finish it is not).

It's about like a 7/8, with symmetrical 1/4 hollows. The thumb and index finger notches are actually quite comfortable and it balances perfectly at the thumb notch, which makes it feel much lighter than it looks.

Critiques are always welcome, I have gotten some truly awesome input from you guys!

Enjoy!

Thanks!

But I like Otto too much to replace him.
