Hi there,
I'm just so curious about Japanese Straight razors. Japan is a country with an incredible craftmanship, why don't they put nice handles on Japanese straight razors? The razors always have a nice looking blade, but when it comes to the handle it always sucks, it's like they're made out of duct tape. I remember watching a documentary about the building process of Katana's (Japanese swords) and the swordmaster who made them spent a whole month to build each one of them and the whole process was so elaborate and crafty it was unbelievable that to this day such craftmanship still existed.
It's a shame they don't do the same with razors.
