Good luck!
Might want to check this thread first.

I know it isn't Tosuke, but you might be interested in >>THIS<<
Saw those. They are nice. I bet they cost more than a tosuke. I will keep that in the back of my mind for now.
Tosukes are getting harder to find and prices are skyrocketing, over $200 for nice, unused ones. Iwasakis are pretty easy to come by and people say that they are higher quality than Tosukes but they are really expensive, ~400-500.
I can get an iwasaki for 275 at japanese woodworker last I checked. I may just do that but it is using all of my money.
You can also buy tosukes from OLD_SCHOOL but the Iwasakis from the Japan Woodworker are a great deal, too :)
HMMM. For 60 dollars more I can get an iwasaki. The iwasaki is supposed to be better in quality from what I understand. Yes?
Just drop him a private message, he already replied in this here thread :D (reply #3)
I have both a Tosuke and an Iwasaki and while the Iwasaki is a tad better made (and looks absolutely gorgeous with the black, unpolished finish) they both shave equally great.
