Vintage Japanese Three Kings NOS.

I pulled the trigger on this one a few weeks back It was finally delivered today, A NOS vintage Japanese Three Kings half hollow and a tad under 7/8 made for Barbers, the razor came via an old Barbers supplies in Tokyo and is probably about 50 years old and had the sharpest edge I've ever seen out of the box just finished stropping the razor on my Kanayama absolutely wickedly sharp.

What a lovely looking razor, congratulations :)

That is one good looking razor. Nice photography, too.

Pardon my ignorance, but was the razor made in Japan by a German company?

I'm green with envy, Jamie!

Enjoy the shaves ..:D

The Three Kings is made in Japan with steel imported from Swedish steel and they are amazing shavers. Many Japanese brands of western straights were made with imported Swedish steel.
