Thread: Good Japanese razors?

Remember that every decision you make when choosing a razor needs to be made when looking at Japanese razors - do you like round points or square points, do you like hollow grinds or quarter grinds or half hollows, do you like framebacks?

Once you have identified this then look at those characteristics in the Japanese ranges. In general, though not exclusively, the long tailed western grind versions (eiko, hoshi tombo etc) tend to be heavier grinds.

As usual, buy shave ready from a recognised seller or calculate into costs for sending out for honing
