Japanese Straights

**KsStraightShaver** · 06-09-2016, 04:13 AM

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.

3rd Iwasaki 2858

This came in today NOS Maxfli Gold Tanifuji full hollow 13/16.

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.

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!

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?
