Thread: shaving with Japanese razors.

Well, great... now I gotta have one, too.

Maybe we can get one of our Japanese razor and Japanese natural hone officionados to clue us in to what brands and where to buy the razors, and maybe an educational course on their use? Possibly the same information for Japanese natural hones, as well?

Maybe we can do a group buy on some Japanese razors?

A few months ago, I watched a TV show showing the making of true Japanese Katanas from start to finish. They even showed the making of the steel. It was *very* interesting. The more I read about Japanese razors and hones, I find myself become just as fascinated as I was watching the Katana show. I could easily spend days reading all about Japanese razors and hones if I could just find some good, *reputable* sources of information... in English.

I'm feeling somewhat sad now...

Just emailed you about that last #1 Jim (or when you will have #2 in stock as I like the chunkier one). Would be interested to see how others use these, so be sure to let us know when you have done your vid.

Doh! No offense intended, Jim!

I didn't bother to take a look at your signature information before that post. Many thanks for the links and info.
