Thread: Tosuke / Azuma

Hi all,
What's the difference between a Tosuke and a Azuma razor? They both look the same, some Azuma come with a black rubber handle, some are in blue, just like a Tosuke. Is it just a handle rubber thing or what? Thank you. RMV

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe they are just different makers! as far as other differences, I couldn't answer.

Majority of Japanese style razors look the same. The difference is how they were made and the different names represent the original craftsmen.

Of course price is the other thing.

Thank you for the input. This is what I was refering to:

Its like saying what's the difference between a Zeepke and a Puma afterall at casual glance to the uninformed they look the same don't they?
