That's really interesting and encouraging to hear! Thank you for the report! I'll take a good close look at them next time I can!

Unfortunately no, not that I am aware of. I found a NOS Hoshi Tombo 300 frameback a couple of months ago, really nice! And, was gifted a number of western style Japanese straights from my local barber that were in various states of disrepair. With a little TLC and elbow grease, I've managed to salvage four really great shavers out of that batch so far!
I have and still shave with one of the Kanoyama Suzumasa razors that Jim spoke of. Glen converted it to a single handle razor for me.
