That looks very similar to the Iwasaki kamisori. I wonder if he trained with Iwasaki-san?

Now I'm pretty lucky when it comes to hunting down certain NOS Japanese razors, but If truth be know I've been trying for years to find a NOS King Pelican with absolutely no luck not even a sniff, yes I've seen them in nice condition and even close to NOS but not quite there by my standards, well after a long wait this one finally dropped in my lap today a NOS flawless King Pelican and I'm over the moon I can't wait to give her a run out in the next few days, she will naturally have a little run over my finishing stone and stropped before but I've finally got that elusive Pelican yesssssssssss!

I don't quite know how you manage to lay your hands on so many great razors but congratulations on another fine Japanese one Jamie.

Starlet straight razor.
I bought this razor a couple of months ago and I completely forgot. Such a shame!
Can wait to hone and use it! Anyone here has a starlet?

Thank you Stefan. I like heavy grind japanese razors!
This one is a full hollow though.
