This Toyo, along with all the other Japanese straights I have used, is excellent. I love the Japanese Westerns for their ease of honing(I'm very much a novice) and the shave they give. You will not be disappointed with this razor. Have you bought from the US before? The only problem there is that UK Customs are extremely hot in parcels coming from the US, and take every opportunity to charge VAT, and that's before the The Royal Mail add their £8 fee too. I bought mine from Martin at Rasurpur, in Germany. He also puts a superb edge on everything he sells. Selling price may offset the charges though.Quote:

Here is a Japanese Western with outstanding edge holding capabilities. This one was re-scaled by Max when he worked in stinky old horn. Final finished on the Nakayama Mizu Asagi. This is a very slow and very fine natural stone that hardens the steel which improves edge longevity. A jewel of a razor. Have a nice week all.

It seems I have serious problems in spotting both pliers and Heljestrand in this picture. I can't really see them. I guess there must be something in the left side of picture catching my sight and attention quite a lot. And, yes, who cares about pliers, after all! :DQuote:
