    Default My first Japanese Razor

    I bought a my first Japanese Razor. He arrived from Osaka. It was shawe for ready and was very sharp when I tried it. (Blade lenght: 42 mm, overall lenght: 150 mm, blade with: 16 mm) The salesman wrote it:
    "I know just he was one of a few last razor craftsmen in Japan and passed away over 20 years. I ve seen his works in a musiam but I don't know details about him.. sorry"
    I would be glad very much if you would help to identify the razor based on my pictures, maybe in somebody right knows it. I know, that is not Tosuke and not Iwasaki, but the quality as if would approach these. I do not understand the Japanese text unfortunately what there is on his box and the packaging.
    Thanks for any help!

    With kind regards, fonthunter

    Looks like a great razor, much better quality than my Tosuke. But an Iwasaki looks a bit more polished. Still great find as it looks pretty unique!
