    probably one of the most beautiful razor ever! Well done.

    She's finally arrived, Jamie, and looks amazing. Congratulations.
    I wish I knew how you manage to sniff these razors out.....or maybe it's Oscar!

    I have a Dairi as well, the blade had a small chip I removed, but I still haven't honed it.
    The blade still needs a lot of work.

    Sorry for the pic, heavily processed in Instagram

    Really a Nice one :-D
    My Second Dairi (a classic one with 20mm Width and 38mm Blade Length) and im happy to know now that they had been build in Osaka, a little spot of light in all that Kamisori Manufactorers Mystery.

    Although not a razor hopefully is in good shape. Now if somebody could donate a pelican razor I could have a set.

    I wonder if that was made by the Japanese master?
    It seems Kanayama made strops with all sorts of names back in the day?
    The hardware seems right.
