New uncut from CA / Japan
Very interested in shaving with a straight razor. By uncut I mean never shaved with a straight razor before. I haven't purchased anything yet, I didn't want to make any mistakes...
I find as I get older the things you take your time and do well give you a feeling of accomplishment and enjoyment. maybe I'll be able to pass these little lessons on to my children.
I have collected Japanese Katanas. And I am
very interested in the "Japanese" straight razors. I have found many on eBay, however they are all old and things don't always turn out exactly as you expect them to on eBay... I have also seen the feather style and wonder if they are any good. I'm wondering why there are thousands of Japanese used blades but no newly made ones from the same companies or forges? Also any advice on where to find a Japanese steel folding straight razor? I'll be moving back to Japan soon, I'm sure some of the master sword smiths can make an expensive and amazing razor...
Thanks for your wisdom!
