Behold The Glory...

Jim awhile back I posted about a show I saw on TV on the Samurai sword and it included the smiths actually making the Tamahagane steel and then forging the blade. Really awesome in the true sense of the word. I agree that having one of the great man's straights would be something to treasure and pass on to the first born.

For $75, I'll tell you whether or not I know where to get one. And I might know

That's pretty cheap for a possible huge step in your new mission in life!

Moderators, can we please get some sort of filter for JimR's and Zethlent's posts?

These two are killing me with the stuff they are coming up with!

Jim,

Can you post a link to the shop please. I know you said the gallery was of stuff that was sold, but it would be nice to have an idea of what I should be looking for inj the future.

Regards,
Alex

Fair enough. It's a shop called Togiten.
They don't carry razors anymore--they're pretty much solidly on the stone side now.

That is potentially even worse.

Jim,
Bruno has a contact in Japan and might be able to help you out. I say "might" because this was done a little over 2 years ago when Don posted a thread about Japanese Razors

Also in that thread Japan Buy Bid Proxy service

Hope that helps

Thanks Ivan...

It's funny, though, because I'm kind of my own "contact in Japan."

The problem is that they aren't around. Seriously, I might just go meet Mizuouchi and beg...maybe he'll make me one!

I'm going through those pages and sometimes it's not translating them. I know shipping won't be a problem for you because you're there :P

I'm still reading the Bid Proxy thread.

You're fortunate to be your own contact not to mention the ones you have on your arsenal.
