My Iwasaki 50mm & my Kobayashi 45mm, "resting" in their home.
All the razors I need :)
Here's my Iwasaki on my Nakayama Asagi.

Hmm, me too, inevitably.

This one isn't without its problems. Unfortunately it turns out to have been through the hands of a notorious chrome oxide merchant, whose work I've had to put right before. I feel sorry for the previous owner actually, who hadn't managed to get a decent shave out of it, and no wonder. You can see at a glance a line of light along the edge, no need for loupes, thumb pad tests or anything like that, and the bevel is clearly rounded. I'll have my work cut out before this one is shaveworthy. Still, mustn't grumble. I'm looking forward to testing my mettle against this austerely beautiful blade some time soon. If anyone can offer any information, I'd be much obliged.
Nice on Andy, and everyone else. I´ve got a Henkotsu (and I got a Hanasama on the way):

Still trying to figure out the best way to store them. Right now they are in their original bamboo boxes.
Here are mine, the two on the right are crazy sharp the left still has some finishing to do. They are great shavers. The only thing I always forget is the point is so sharp due to the sharpening proccess.

I hate you all guys! ";"
I cannot sleep without dreaming a Kamisori the last three weeks!
Your photos and your posts will soon cost me some 400€ :banghead:
I had them all out for a rust check and figured I might as well...
This is almost all of them, i think...maybe 3 or 4 lurking around somewhere.

Ahhh,.... I finally get to add to this club !!!
Just got her back from Glen with a wicked edge !
Henkotsu Gold size 2 kamisori
There are a few more to add to the collection, but I really wanted to show off this one. I got is as a birthday present from a friend, and either by coincidence or intent, the fact that it's a "77" razor, and I was born in 1977, tickles me a lot.
Of course, the fact that it's a Tanifuji, the top of my "makers to buy" list, is also pretty amazing.

Might as well continue the Toyo parade... here's my matched pair of 666's! - Excuse the bad cellphone pic.
What is up with the 666's!?!?
These are the end days, my friend.
Looks like it. I enjoy mine quite a bit but probably not as much as I'll like surviving whatever history's momentum is carrying us towards.
Back to the razors.
Shiny!
One I will keep:
