Thread: Want to find Western Style Japanese Razor (Iwasaki)

Hello again.

I would like to find the price and availability of the Iwasaki laser razor.

It is featured on this website (translated by google) http://translate.google.com/translat...language_tools

I know some members have bought traditional japanese style straights with fixed handles, but i am not aware of anyone having one of these.

I suspect that i will not be able to afford it when i do discover the price, but i thought maybe others would be interested. I have contacted www.munemasa.co.jp, but i have heard that they sometimes do not respond to enquiries in English.

All help appreciated.

I had sourced the Japanese straights and you will find there are only two people making any straights in Japan. One is on the kakuri site and those are knifemakers who rarely make straights, they are mostly knifemakers of the highest order. When they made straights their basic models with no handles were about $400.00. All their goods are preordered years in advance. The other is an old guy who is very ill now and is not making anything.
