Thread: New Japanese find

I picked this little rascal up the other day. Though it may need a trip to Doctor Jamie to sort out the little ding on the nose.

It was the mother of pearl scales that drew me to it, I hope it shaves well.

Looks like a honey. I have an Iwasaki western style and a Feather western style...both are incredible shavers. Love me some Japanese razors.

I'm really looking forward to using a Japanese blade I know they are very different from my usual Sheffield steel ;-)

Good looking find in nice condition. I am sure the little ding will hone out easily enough, doesn't look too serious at all. Enjoy.

Picked these two up today, can't wait to give them a try, both are Japanese smilers SK1 & SK3 by R.Saito.





I need to find an SK2 to complete the set. How sad is that??

I can't help it but every time I look at your Avatar (even though I know it is an Avatar) I wonder what the hell you are doing on a shave site. Kind of like when I look at Hirlau's Avatar I think, wow, that guy sure is smart for being so young.

I find the heel swoop to be interesting. I don't see that tang to heel curvature very often.

Nice razor.

I, for one, welcome Mr. Rob Zombie to the forum. Pay no attention to the heathen, entropy1049! ;P

You know I've never really noticed, but some of these Avatars are quite weird!

This avatar most clearly illustrates my need for sound shaving advice! Rob Zombie...I suppose. I've always thought of it as more of a demented Rasputin...
