Hello Mark.
I hope this razor will take the top place in your collection . I did my best honing it , though it wasn't easy. It's challenging to hone a razor with the blade shape like this .Well if the shaving is too harsh for you you know what to do

Hi Andrey

Maybe behind my Iwasakis but in my top 5 Japanese razors!
Im sure that it will shave fantastically, the bevel looks good, did you hone it on synthetics?

1.Naniwa SS 1000-3000
2.Nakayama Maruka ASAGI KARASU 5+ naguras
3.ESCHER (barbers delight).
