spendur,
I haven't read all the comments - so disregard if already answered.
Is using a Japanese style straight, straight razor remarkably different than extending the handle of one's more occidentally styled, folding (bent) straight razor so it's 180 degrees out from the blade and shaving away?
Regardless, yours is a generous offer for those tempted to try new and different things.

Well, the way you describe it yes its night and day. But your talking apples and oranges so you need to realize that. Comparing a western to japanese the dimensions are differerent, the grind is different, the feel in the hand is totally different, the edge is different.

But in the end its no different than say learning to drive a manual transmission..without syncromesh...and having to double clutch.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

FYI, If it's after the end of January by the time it comes to me (which I'm sure it will be) my address is going to be changing.
I'll let you know ASAP about the new address.
And yes, thanks again for doing this

PM sent...can't believe I missed this.
I do have one question. I get the use of a Japanese straight everwhere EXCEPT under the ear, on the WTG stroke on the left, and ATG on the right...how does one get the cutting edge to the sideburn with the handle there...wouldn't the ear be in the way? I can't imagine the required contortion!
Edit: Thanks for doing this before I ordered a new one from SRD just to see how I like it (my usual inefficient way of finding out!!)
