    Default Vintage Fon Golden Star

    Being a lover of Japanese steel i've wanted a vintage Japanese razor for sometime, and when it arrived i must admit the wait was well worth it, now i've restored and hone a few vintage high end razors over the last couple of months, Filarmonica's Bokers, Le Grelot, so on, but the fit and finish on this razor as given me personally a bench mark of quality i've not seen in any other razor, just like custom knives, you like to think and i'm no different how good your other knives are, but then you buy a Klotzli or Sebenza and you then judge all your other knives against them, well there's quite a few of you who know what i mean. PS i forgot to say the razor is new old stock.

    Jamie.

    You will love that Fon razor. They, like a lot of Japanese western style razors, are superb shavers and are beautifully made.
