Thread: Using Japanese Style Razor

I have fallen head over heels for a Mastro Livi Japanese Style razor.

How much harder are they to use than the regular scales?

I am only just starting off.

I would say contact the folks at SRD or ask Lynn directly.

I used one today for my shave. Not to much different as far as angles IMO. The handle end is the biggest thing I have found needing time to get used to. Shave is just as good. I do find I like them better for trimming in my goatee.

I picked one up out of curiosity and as far as difficulty is is pretty much on the same level. You just have to find a comfortable way hold the razor. I ended up deciding the asymmetrical grind wasn't for me but i might look into getting a western ground version.

Cheers.

I have ordered it. See how I go.

Let us know what you think of it when you shave with the razor DandyWonka.

I have a Robert Williams Purist and it is taking a while to master my left side (im right handed)

Didn't have a problem with my Feather Artist but this is proving to be a very different challenge
