Have honed and shaved with my new Hoshi Tombo 8000 the last couple of days, she is one nice little girl!
The bottom knife is a Tosho S.2Hur Svenska stålet biter kom låt oss pröfva på.

Congrats! Now at least I know who beat me to it - have seen it as well but needed a day too long to decide. Enjoy the shaves!

Here my two Japanese straights, both made of Swedish steel. The first one is the Gold King (Gold-Rex) with a 13/16" full hollow blade. This very same razor has been presented in this thread already once by its previous owner, I just wanted the opportunity to post an edited photograph I personally find very nice.
The second one is a recent addition to the rotation and came to me as NOS, a TŌWA, also roughly 13/16" and full hollow. The same brand and model of razor has also already been presented here by a few other members, so nothing really new there. First shave with it was today and a very enjoyable one it was.

Nice finds. The Rex and the Towa's are superb straight razors.

A nice Japanese razor should make a fine shaver.
