Did a side by side comparison of my Tanifuji 11/16 Manaslu 7/8. Although both full hollow and not much difference in size there is a noticeable difference in weight. The Manaslu feels so much heavier than the Tanifuji, not a bad or good thing, just different.
I also noticed that although they both gave a very close shave the Tanifuji was a lot smoother shaver.
Now the Manaslu was NOS with a factory edge that just had a good stropping and my Tanifuji I've had for a while so have an edge that I love. I just need to tweak the Manaslu to my preference and it will be a wonderful shaver.
Hard to say which one would get the nod, both limited edition and distributed by Nichiri Co, even the graphics and model stamps are particularly similar. Gun to the head I'd say the Tanifuji but only because what Tanifuji Fukutaro
did for the straight razor world.
