That looks very much like hoshitombo 8000, may be made by the same company for a large retailer

For Lemur: Is that real tortoise shell? Whatever it is, it really is a fine looking razor.

Japanese razors all use plastic scales, you will never see anything fancy as far as materials used Originally Posted by WW243

It's on its way from Japan as of now, but I put my money on plastic.
The Japanese don't seem to care much about handles, it's all about the edge!
Wish it was here now... I "need" it!Hur Svenska stålet biter kom låt oss pröfva på.

When you consider the majority of razors are in a drab and boring black I think Japanese razor have some of the nicest scales and finish I've seen, and another thing the Peening and finish are totally superior to any British Swedish or German razor I've ever seen, if the Japanese don't seem to care much about handles then all I have to say god help the rest of the chasing pack, because they are in division 2.
