    Well don't sail to close to Cardiff, those Vikings had many settlements in Wales Swansea was once a Viking town, hence the name Sweyne. Swansea’s Viking origins | Swansea History Blog

    Guess i'll chime in with my Japanese razor.
    I think this one has been the most expensive in my short journey into wet shaving.
    I've not tried it out yet for some reason. Perhaps because i'm pondering one from Wacker or Brian Brown. Mine is NOS, but the seller sharpened it before sending it to me.
    If anyone has one like this & can chime in on why I should or shouldn't sell it to get me one of the above mentioned customs, please feel free to do so, but keep it nice.

    Of course the answer is why not get the Wacker + BB while keeping the Toyo?
    I have the same Toyo and received mine NOS as well. It's a great razor. I also have a couple of Wackers which I really like as well. I'm glad I have all of them in my rotation.
    A BB is on the list to get so I can't give any first hand opinions on those at this point. The Wackers aren't necessarily considered custom razors - the BBs are considered as such even if you don't commission him to make one for you specifically.
