Great score David and a dream shaver like the majority of western style full hollow Japanese straight razors. Tanifugi razors as well the Diamond series straights are among the best shavers in the world. Enjoy.

Interesting observation as I have a few Wade & Butchers that have an exceptional hollow grind, a couple in fact that I joked could be the great Grandfather of the Filarmonica/Palmera #14's...but with the fantastic heft of Sheffield steel.
And agreed, the Japanese Iwasaki 20mm straight razor I have, for a small blade, definitely has some great heft to it....
Great looking razor.
Just a fyi.
Early manufacture Iwasaki T-hagane razors were outsourced to Tanifuji and Tokiwa for finishing.
Great looking razor! Let us know how she shaves. Good luck.
Congratulations David! Tanifuji are just perfect, they are easy to hone and take an exceptional edge, the red scales are quite striking.
