My Iwasaki 50mm & my Kobayashi 45mm, "resting" in their home.
All the razors I need :)
Here's my Iwasaki on my Nakayama Asagi.

Hmm, me too, inevitably.

This one isn't without its problems. Unfortunately it turns out to have been through the hands of a notorious chrome oxide merchant, whose work I've had to put right before. I feel sorry for the previous owner actually, who hadn't managed to get a decent shave out of it, and no wonder. You can see at a glance a line of light along the edge, no need for loupes, thumb pad tests or anything like that, and the bevel is clearly rounded. I'll have my work cut out before this one is shaveworthy. Still, mustn't grumble. I'm looking forward to testing my mettle against this austerely beautiful blade some time soon. If anyone can offer any information, I'd be much obliged.
Nice on Andy, and everyone else. Iīve got a Henkotsu (and I got a Hanasama on the way):

Still trying to figure out the best way to store them. Right now they are in their original bamboo boxes.
Here are mine, the two on the right are crazy sharp the left still has some finishing to do. They are great shavers. The only thing I always forget is the point is so sharp due to the sharpening proccess.
