    Congratulations Stefan.
    Thanks Mark. When the steel is Yasuki, the razor is a winner.

    I've tried my best to stay away from this thread; I have brush acquisition issues.
    Now I have a desire for a Japanese razor.
    I just can't get out.

    This is the one that pushed me over the edge. I read that the scales were from a different razor though. This makes me feel better, knowing that there is not another one out there like it; waiting for me.

    The scales are from a Kikuboshi, another Japanese brand

    Lol the addiction to Japanese straights is the worst of them all.
    As the time passes, so we learn.

    Does anyone here read Japanese? I'm curious to know what the tang reads (other than, perhaps, EXTRA VERY HARD).

    (In the case that it might read TWO GOLDEN MEN / PAKISTAN, please feel free to remain silent.)

    Thank you in advance.

    Regards,
    Chris
