Here I have my 3 Japanese straights.
1st my unknown maker ( haven't had kanji translated yet) may be Chinese.
2nd Iwasaki 1550 in faux ivory had some really bad uneven hone wear that I had to fix, but really cheap eBay find.

I finally got my hands on a NOS Eiko quarter hollow. Those are in my experience among the very best shavers out there, I have honed quite a few of them and never was disappointed in the edge they took.
I also received a set of three NOS Daishi Tamahagane razors in a fitted box from the factory. I have not seen a tri-razor box before so this is really quite the surprise. The razors are 1/4 hollow, 1/2 hollow and an asymmetric grind 4/8. I have had Daishi before and they are superb shavers as well.
The last razor is a NOS Hi-Sector Extra Brand, the style looks like a Parker made blade but the spine is thinner than the Parkers I have seen.
:dropjaw:
Wow, Thats some razor porn right there! Those style of eikos are absolutely beautiful. :chapeau
You brought some wonderfull razors in your collection Mainaman. Thanks for sharing, it's a real pleasure for the eyes!
Fantastic razors, Stefan. Congratulations.
Those are gorgeous.
It's good to see someone who's passionate about a type of razors, I'm the same about my Sheffields, but always plenty of room for others.
Congrats Stefan...I really like the Daishi with the MOP like scales...wow!
Wow, some superb additions Stefan!!
I have three vintage NOS Japanese razors in this week two Giyana Biken Osaka quarter hollow 7/8 and one Hoshi Tombo first edition quarter hollow 13/16 I'm looking forward to giving them a shave over the weekend.
Jamie, is the Hoshitombo smaller (blade size and spine thickness) than the Giyana?Quote:
