Thread: Diamond Hayashi 6/8 Japanese 1/4 grind

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

So strange...

The razor was a Father's Day gift. I have shaved with it twice. My first impression is that it is very smooth shaver. Definitely in the same league as the Le Grelot 1/4 or the Hart. Also, I really like the slightly shorter blade. It is very manueverable.

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.

Any chance that review has been posted? Do let us know.... Thanks!

I think it is a very good razor

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.
