    Now for this one worse comes to worse, I'll just salvage the scales. There is some pitting near the edge, but I'm banking on the fact that Japanese frameback razors are thicker than full hollows.Name:  uploadfromtaptalk1442960073284.jpg

    You're sure on the roll with them jap's. Very nice blades.

    I've received my Kanno Kikuboshi a while ago and it's a beast and a beauty at the same time. Killer shaver.

    Well bought my first Japanese western style razor. Kinda a blind purchase.

    Has anybody heard of a Eiko?
    did I over pay for it?
