Thanks, I picked it up on a whim, Val from the Gentleman's Den mentioned they were very nice, saw one and hit the button, think I've only used it 3 or 4 times tops....now I wish I hadn't already had my shave earlier Originally Posted by mainaman

Beautiful frame back, Phrank. Stefan honed an NOS Schoenburg that I picked up, and it's now one of my favorite shavers.

Strangest darn Japanese name I've ever heard...maybe why I forgot to post it here, thought, for some utterly strange reason, perhaps it was German in manufacture.... Originally Posted by Thug

I doubt it was made in Germany, there are many Japanese framebacks made by different Japanese companies. I think that particular style razor was nothing but Japanese invention if you will. We have not seen that style offered by Solingen/Sheffield/ French makers. Originally Posted by Phrank

The way the blade is made is a combo of the stiffness of a heavy grind razor with the agility and thin grind of a hollow ground blade.Stefan

The designs are completely different. I have not seen a single western made razor that has the same design as a Japanese frameback and vice versa. Originally Posted by rocarule

Haha, I agree. Very un-Japanese like. Originally Posted by Phrank
