Thread: A barber near my house, shows me his private collection !

Hello all ,

Been scouring my city here in Japan , to find a Japanese straight razor . Got a couple and to my surprise , one barber had all of this ! Sorry he was not interested in parting with any of them !

Cheers,

Scott

Very nice collection.

Is he retired or still practicing ? We get attached to stuff we used for years. I'll probably die with my ironworker tools even though I haven't used them in 20 years and never will again. Beautiful collection of razors.

Thanks for sharing. The problem now is I want a Japanese razor.

Thanks for sharing Scott! That's a fine collection indeed...

Yes , he still cuts hair and gives shaves . His shaves are done
with the straights ( either style - western or Japanese) that
take the blade inserts . Too bad , very nice bloke and offered
me some honing tips !

Do you have a photo of your Kamisori handy ? Would love to see
it . Do you know who made it ?
