This is my first foray into Japanese Westerns. I bought 2 on eBay from a Japanese vendor for only 25 bucks a piece! They both had some rust but were in otherwise superb shape. One of them, a Kikuboshi, is getting new scales.

This is an Eagle Razor 6/8 extra full hollow. It took a beautiful, easy edge on the chosera 1k, Norton 8k, naniwa 12k progression. Just had a wonderful shave after 60 laps on the buffalo leather SRD strop.

Thank you. It is old but still a great shaver!

3 days growth was quickly dispatched this morning with these working tools:

JA Henckels 78 1/2 | Muhle STF | MWF | Lilac Vegetal | Arber ASB

Used my el Druida brush for the first time, what a great brush, soft but with enough backbone. For razor I used a Japanese Royal 6/8. Had a great shave.

No prep cold water face lathered shave. Love the smell of Arko in the morning.
