    My something else has struck multiple times!! My wife was glad when my hobbies came in mailbox size packages....not ones that fit in the garage. NOW, she's not so sure that was prudent!!

    Something else has already struck. Recently got an Iwasaki, Western Style, Tamahagne Razor! Pics coming soon.

    This came in today from Japan a NOS vintage Japanese Gold Rex for Barber first quality full hollow 13/16, I'm so pleased to have picked this razor up has I always regretted trading the very same razor a few years back to one of our members who is still enjoying the razor today it was a fantastic shaver then so when I saw this I jumped on it.:-)

    Thanks Yamabushi, she will feel very much at home with the rest of my Japanese razors.

    My pleasure! I love seeing them!! I've got to make some time to take some photos of my modest J-razor collection.

    This was a tough one to hone because the steel was/is pretty darn hard and I had to overcome the uneven bevel and hone wear (I wonder if that member that regrinds razors might be able to regrind this puppy). I did hung in there and I can honestly say that this razor takes a good... No a superb edge.
