    Default The Iwasaki as landed:-)

    Well after many years of searching for a NOS western style Iwasaki my search is finally over I never dreamed that one day would come, I've been nervously waiting for more than 3 weeks for the razor to arrive from Japan, the description and the photo's of the razor left me with a small amount of doubt but I went with my gut feeling and when she arrived I was overjoyed that box had been doing an amazing job for many decades, well nothing left only the photo's and spec, 7/8 yes I couldn't believe it 7/8 half hollow.

    Very nice indeed! I've been on an iwasaki splurge as of recent... started with a shorty iwasaki western tamahagane. Then a new old stock iwasaki carbon kamisori. Then a nos iwasaki tamahagane kamisori and now I just pulled the trigger on this beauty. Appears to be in mint condition.
