Googled and not much info can be found other than link to B&B forum.
Zethlent's kind enough to provide some information. If any of you have shaved with this. Please let us know.

The 1st one posted is mine. I don't have any info about it other than what was posted in the B&B thread. In short, I saw one, I "had to have one", and Seth (Zethlent) helped me get one . Huge thanks again BTW.
I meant to make a thread about it but I got a little lazy.
It's the only Japanese razor that I have, so I can't compare the shave with other blades, but I love the shaves. It's also the gosh-darned coolest razor in my rotation.

OK, that's probably enough pictures of this one...


I have to ask myself, is it necessary to have more than one thread about this razor?

Dunno but I'm glad there is. I missed it first time around and that is one cool looking razor. I'm Tadisha Machida envious.

If you get any info about them or know if its possible to get one online somewhere, please let me know. I just got an iwasaki from JimR and its fantastic and now I am hooked. Thats one cool looking razor.

Just a clarification, the correct spelling and word order is: Machida Tadashi. (for search engine purposes of course)

Oh and here it is in Japanese: 町田　正

I posted in the other thread to ask you but that's ok everyone ( myself included ) was too busy quoting your pics :P

Have you by any chance honed it yet? Been at least 5 months now how is it?

Thanks mate!

Seth do they normally come shave-ready? If you don't mind as to ask the vendor if Machida or someone else hones them.

I know the Iwasaki's are honed by Mizuoichi Ryuichi successor to Iwasaki Shigeyoshi ( thanks Jim ).

Thanks

Sorry for not replying to the other post. I didn't want to
Personally, I found that either the razor was not quite shave ready or my technique was really poor. I researched here for a bit and honed it up to the best of my abilities and the shave was much improved.

I'm still learning how to shave with this razor. I reserve it for slow weekend shaves when I'm not in any hurry. I also took a month off of trying it due to some decent cuts in the 1st few shaves.

Thanks Paul.

I've yet to hone any of my razors and I didn't want to make a mistake with a pricey razor. I've couple used razors but they don't need to be honed for some time. Thanks to Jim's video it gives me an idea of how to hone these when time comes.

How many shaves have you gotten with it thus far? I've been rotating between the Iwasaki and Livi for well over month.
