    Nice! Shoulder-less ever so slightly rounded square tip, my idea of perfection!

    You didn't tell me that when you first honed it. . But I've rehoned it since and found it to be really cooperative and a great shaver.

    The western Iwasakis were sent to Tanifuji for finishing work and scales, that speaks a lot about the reputation of the brand.

    Absolutely beautiful additions to this thread.

    The above mentioned Favorit is one of the best there is. It'll take sedge that lasts forever.

    Enjoy them in good health.

    And keep adding to the thread.

    I was 50/50 on this razor until it got a super nice edge. I love it now. The size is really nice, really maneuverable.
