    This is so weird...I SWEAR that the one I had was hollow ground, but Dylan's picture doesn't lie.

    So strange...

    I will post a more thorough review once I have a week or so under my belt. At this point, I am happy with it.

    Tom,

    Think it was your picture that got my mouth dribbling again for the Hayashi Diamond!

    By the way, someone sent me a link a while ago about a place on Yahoo Groups that sold the Hayashi at a much better price than Rasurpur. I've lost the message and the link though - would be really grateful if that person could post it or send it to me again - thanks!

    Hey,
    the Hayashi razors from that place are sold out.
    I tried the 1072 model, its 1/4 hollow to my estimation, it shaves just as well as anything else.
    Japanes like to use superb steels for their tools, chances are any Japanese made straight is a quality product.

    Martin's place?

    Yes I quite agree, the Japanese do like to get things done properly.

    I've had one - It was actually from Jim. It was absolutely excellent. I think Martin's price is a bit high but bottom line is it is a great shaver, stiff grind and stiff steel. I would say it is 11/16 instead of 6/8 though.

    I have recently come by a Diamond 8000 and it is an amazing blade, if you have an opportunity to purchase one of the Diamond series I would not hesitate. You will be rewarded with great workmanship.
