Thread: Japanese Straights

NOS Eiko. Jamie, I told you that you'd have company soon. But all kidding aside, what a beautiful razor. As is always the case with Japanese razors, they show their quality when you hone them. I'll test it out on Friday.

OCD nice blade!

I just won a bid on an Eiko, it'll need some cleaning up but I'm excited to get it. My other Japanese is a Ribbon100, very nice shaver

I assure you will not be disappointed with the shave that razor delivers great looking razor, let me think of the old proverb handsome is as handsome does and that razor certainly shaves as good as it looks.

I'll report back on Friday after I've had a chance to test it out.

I took this one out for a spin today. What a great shaver. This is my second Eiko and in both cases, the razors took exceptionally sharp and exceptionally smooth edges. A three day beard was mowed down without the slightest irritation. The steel on these is outstanding.

Kikuboshi with nothing on the earl. Only on the tail.

Here is my King Pelican

Any ideas on what the writing on this one says? I picked it up for cheap, so before I start cleaning I would like to know something about it.
