I allways think that this razor was made by Tokusei, but I've desided it's prob a Towa

I wanted to try this razor already for some time and when one came by on the local bay I got it in a sweet deal. I have to say it is all that they say and all that has been written about it. You just let the weight of the razor do the work. NO pressure... The shave was excellent. I also tried it ATG below the chin where I have stubborn growth and applied a little pressure in order to cut through it better. Instantly I realised my mistake and saw a few mini weepers. It is THAT sharp. On a side note I'm glad to say that if I have a good day on the cot and the Thuri I can nearly match this kind of sharpness. Not entirely, but nearly. The balance of the razor is perfect. It's only a bit small for my taste, but alas. I didn't really feel that I had a learning curve here, or that I needed to change my technique. Just keep the razor at a very flat angle and it's all good. An awesome start to what seems to be a sunny week. Enjoy gentlemen!
