Sorry Jamie I'm looking at this on my phone on a swaying tube, is that a covered tang? It's a beauty

Wow, beautiful! Love it!!

The tang is pearl shell?

I may have gotten a little out of hand with my recent Japanese razor acquisitions. Here they are in no particular order:

That Coral is very nice, I remember thinking that looked like it would be a great blade.

I'm partial to the Hayashi! Something about that geometry and very attractive scales doe it for me!

I have one Favorit also. It's a really no-nonsense razor. No frills, no thrills, no bellyaches. But the quality of the steel is really great. It takes an edge as good as many of the top shelf razors I have. It's not a very handsome razor but it shaves really well and hones nicely.
