Phrank that is a beautiful razor, I love the simplicity of the scales. Are the scales a natural material?

Those are the original scales that came with the razor...I'd gather they are just celluloid. Originally Posted by doc47

I find most Japanese Straights have some heft to them ,Ja[panese steel has more weight than most razors .In most cases they take a great edge .

That is a beautiful collection of razors; do the all have the same grind or do you like to mix it up? They all have one thing in common and that is beautiful scales!

I mix them up Dan, but I have taken a strong liking to extra hollow ground. That being said the Hoshi Tombo 6000 is a Kamisori grind and an incredible shaver. Originally Posted by doc47
