This was an auction I won on eBay about a month ago from a known Japanese vendor, knew it was a crap shoot, it was in terrible shape, but I ended up winning the auction for $35.00 to my surprise.
Valery finished it a couple of hours ago, so thought I'd share the results - I think it turned out pretty nice!

Looks fantastic Phrank-Well Done! Another J-West ready to fight another day. Well worth the effort!
Very, very nice.
Like the lines.
Nice!
The spine looks really beefy in one of the photos (I like the grind a lot). But geometry says it can't be I guess, or does it? Good score. Oh yeah, I like the way the Japanese razors have a symmetrical end on the spine, not that other razors don't have this...
The entire Diamond series are very well made and are superior shavers. Enjoy.
My God Phrank you've done it again!!!!!! Are you & Jamie in competition or what?????
HAR! Who can keep up with Jamie! BTW, Steve. I just decided you look like Ted Nugent in your avatar! :DQuote:

They are some great shavers, for certain. I have gotten a few lately. Just have refrained from stealing Jamie's thunder! :roflmao
Damn it Tom, you made me look up Ted Nugent to see what he looks like now.................no comment 'cept for the real me & my faithful pal in my pic.Quote:

You had better change yours, Phrank. Is that supposed to be Sweeney Todd? I liked your old one better! Here! Here's a new one! :roflmaoQuote:

...much better....thanks Tom!
Phrank, I just sat through that. The guy could really keep a straight face, could he not? :rofl2:
Thanks!
Just for me, could you use my suggested avatar for just a few days? It would make me smile for a few days! :D
How cool! You changed it before I asked! HAR! :roflmao
Already done...look above you! Father Guido inspired me...:angel:Quote:

Thank you. Thank you very much! :chapeau
The part at the end is missing, where Father Guido say's he keeps having a nightmare, that he get's to Heaven, and when he's almost paid up - he's, "justa .35 cents a shorta!" and has to go back! :rofl2:Quote:

That reminds me of a time many years ago when a friend & myself went to jail for having a little too much to drink & I was able to pay my own bail but my friend was .25 cents short to pay his way out so a few of us had to put some money together, go back & get him out!
Oh............I just noticed, now we can start calling Phrank Father Guido!!!!:rofl2:
Dude. I am giggling like a leetle gurl every time I see your avatar! :D
Funny stuff!
Oh! yours too, Phrank! :roflmao
(Getting cross-posted here!)
Nope, Pope Razorfeld will get cross with you, I believe my avatar now suits my position in his Church as that of Cardinal Phrank....:angel:Quote:

As in all of life, we are made up of different personalities as the days and years go by. We may not be aware of it, just ask an ex, they will set you straight. Cardinal Guido Phrank, keep applying the holy oil to your instruments of truth and I will dedicate a Morning Mass of Lather to your new avatar.Quote:

What's the Canadian-US rate of exchange these days? I can afford .35USD, but if it's greater in Canadian we have a problem Houston - I'm mean Tom. These international exchanges can get confusing, eh? Dear Cardinal Guido P., should you be in the states and in financial need my .35USD will be available via Papal courier. References required.
Cardinal Phrank, I'm 4.5 miles out of Houston but I read you loud & clear. I got through to Tom because he's right around the corner. The problem was those currency exchange fees but we had that covered. Thank God it was just pennies from Heaven. We can make that Papal connection for you so hang on tight for the flight up. Hopefully the flames didn't burn your toenails on the slow descent down. According to my readings in mission control, you were so near that it was a close shave but at least your lather got warm!Quote:

I could easily mistake them for tortoise scales, but I'm assuming they're faux tortoise or dyed horn? Anyone know the scoop on the scales on these razors?

I dunno, but look at that inlay! See what I mean? :rofl2:
LOL - when I took it for a test drive, gotta admit, when I was looking at the scales I was shaking my head looking at that logo..."Sharpton!!!!!! I can see the twins!" :rofl2:Quote:
