    Hee hee, you will love it!
    I know im only one shave down but I really like it. Its a heavy razor but nicely balanced.
    A few of these have turned up on ebay recently for I feel a great price, and sell quite quickly. The seller had 3 of these NOS and I got the last one.
    Will do a comparison with my other kamisoris soon.

    I got mine for what I thought was a good price. I think you bought it from the same Japanese seller. I would like to ask how long did shipping take?

    The Henkotsu has arrived. I did used permanent maker to emulate the original black. I might use stone chemical to restore the black patina.

    Maybe just one of them cotton swabs and a little bit of vinegar will work. Home remedies... Don't forget to protect with tape.
