    I'm interested in translation as well.

    How does the shave compare to Iwasaki or others? Thanks

    No experience at this stage to give you a comparison with anything other than Western razors.
    All I can tell you is, the Iwasaki was easier to hone.

    Cheers Maxtro.
    Shaves great ! Super close. Super smooth.

    Finally got back to So on the Kanji. His translation is:

    Becchuu(Specially ordered) Ippon-Rennda (First class forging)
    Kobayashi Kinsei (Humbly made by Kobayashi)

    Thanks for translation mate!

    I need to touch up couple of these and hope I produce an edge like you did.

    I had 18 shaves with Iwasaki, head shave ( sides only ) and two test shaves. It started tugging after the fact.

    Cheers mate.
    You should be fine.
    Was that the 60mm Iwasaki. I just ordered a 50mm. Now I'm really broke
