    Got this back last week, Val added a pair of green / gold scales that really pop, and cleaned it up, and put a superb edge on using his J-Nats this time.

    Hand forged Tamako YSK Tamahagane straight razor:

    Beautiful full hollow ground, easy in the hand, and an effortless BBS shave, and these Japanese blades seem to love to take an edge, bevel is like looking into a mirror.

    Quick phone pic of two NOS blades:

    - Hitachi Yasuki Steel (HYS) "Hard" 6/8

    - Takehana "Feon" 6/8

    Hoping they'll hone up beautifully.....
