    Can wait to hone and use it! Anyone here has a starlet?
    I had one that was a wedge grind, it took a great edge.

    Thank you Stefan. I like heavy grind japanese razors!
    This one is a full hollow though.

    Arsenico, I have a near wedge to 1/4 hollow Starlet. Heavy duty blade. Lots of kanji on either side of tang, along with a TS.

    The doorbell just rang. NOS Hayashi Diamond 120. Tomorrow I'll hone it. The seller advertised rust and scratches and suggested that buyers look closely. This razor arrived without a scratch or speck of rust. I'm looking forward to using it Sunday.

    Good news, looks great...I've heard they are more towards a wedge grind? Is that true, and how big is the blade, looks a good 6/8?
