    Not as beautiful as many of the razors posted here but it is a great shaver and a friend made the scales, which I love.

    That's more than beautiful in my mind. My Iwasaki is my best shaver, and they are as good as it gets in my opinion.

    It's a good place to look. They often have razors in excellent condition at very reasonable prices, and their service has been excellent. I just wish they had more Japanese razors.

    They have always been helpful to me, I've purchased 3-4 razors from Matt. They do have some very nice blades. It is where I purchased my IBERIA which is on tap for tomorrow.

    Griffith has a nice soap line too. Scents are all good with great performance. Next time you order chuck one in the basket. I don't think you'll be disappointed

    I have the Iwasaki 30, beautiful wedge grind, the one I still can't believe I won for $31 USD....virtually honed itself, perfect geometry, and almost invisible when shaving...they certainly are spectacular razors.
