    I think it is supposed to be, but I can't slide it off. I honed the razor with it on and am getting nice shaves.

    That Nespa is not mine, it's from NESPA Aporis 58mm Double Bevels Japanese Style Razor

    It too is a western/ symmetrical grind.

    Must have been some sort of collaboration going on. My favourite, albeit well worn in strop is a vintage Japanese Aporis.

    It's not a blued steel. Must just be the reflection. Does have nice etching. "NESPA, fbrik von aporis".

    Yeah, the kamisoris are the only other nespas ive seen. Thats why im so curious about this razor. Anyway, cant wait to get it properly honed. Its It's gonna be a very nice shave I do believe.

    Heres my latest japanese straight a NOS Tahei 泰平 , 1/4 hollow, was a joy to hone.
    They are very similar to the Eiko glory and a spit of Yasuhiras.
