Looks nice but I found the pics slightly deceiving. Scales are awesome! Hope it shaves great for you! Dont know if you overpaid by the way... if it hones and shaves well, it's all good.

I found this to be common in some japanese straights, although I havent been looking at them for a very long time, only for a few months. This means the width of the razor near the toe will be smaller than at the heel.. at least I'd think so, looking at the photos. Secondly, the lighting is poor.. but at least they havent used flash!
However, if the razor was perfect, it would have probably cost you 3 times that. So dont worry... tell us what you think when it arrives and maybe post some better pics.As the time passes, so we learn.

Today i got this Mint Dairi, complete with its Package, i guess it was only one time sharpened after it was sold, had a very nice shave with it a few Minutes ago :-)
Does anyone know what the Kanji on the Package mean?
Could identify two Words as Dairi & Kamisori in Hiragana (?) but the first couple of signs i dont know.
