I have A Hien asymmetrical to, honed it like A kamisori and shave with it more like A Straight razor. Glad you had A nice shave with it. Yes, it shaves more like A Near wedge.

Did he always stamp his name on them? I note some just have other wording on the tang?Quote:

This is the one razor I have sought above all others, made by the legendary Shigeyoshi Iwasaki from the almost mythical Tamahagane.
It looks to me like NOS, there is no hint of wear but a few blemishes that should be able to polish out.
Under a loupe the bevel looks quite beautiful and I hope it was by Shigeyoshi himself. In fact after inspection and tree topping some arm hair I gave her a good stropping to refresh the edge that has been waiting for me for the last 40/50 years. She gave up a fine shave indeed, not as keen as I like but fine enough for most.
I won't go on about Iwasaki as there is enough posts already so it just leaves me to show my pictures.
Please forgive my photography skills.
