Thread: My grail razor finally the search is over. :-)

Well I think many of you who know me know I like Japanese razors and especially NOS ones, well I've always been on the look out for a NOS Iwasaki western style straight well finding a good one is hard enough so you can imagine how difficult it is to find a NOS one, well I've actually found one and it's flying in from Japan in the next week or so I'm so chuffed I cannot believe it, photo's will follow but here's a little taster.

Very nice Jamie. Congratulations on the find! Great way to start the new year.

Happy for you! It's a nice goal!

Congrats! May you have many great shaves from it. I have yet to acquire a Japanese shaver of any type, but it is on my bucket list.

Can't wait to see your photos of this most understated masterpiece of the art.

Congratulations, it's beautiful.

Wow.
That is going to be a great shaver. It will look great in SOTD!

Congratulations and thanks for sharing

Congratulations Jamie. The chase is always worth it if the goal is clear!
Looks like a beautiful blade.
Enjoy in good health in 2016!

Nice. All I've got to do is hit the Lottery and/or somehow justify to myself that I want it bad enough! I've wanted an Iwasaki Tamahagane just about forever. Don't need one of course. Just want one! Sigh! Green with envy here.

Congrats on the "Holy Grail".

I have my first bunch of Japanese razors coming. They are sitting in Tokyo right now. I can't wait to try them out. I heard they are well made with Great steel.
