Bruno herd
I have 5 of them in one place so thought I'd post them, waiting on the Harley dark blade to get back home

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I have two Bruno razors, both made from approx 400 year old Tamahagane steel from two Japanese swords. You can see some of the fold lines on the blade face of the Tamahagane steel. They are both superb shavers.
For this one, the sword was made in the 1600's by sword master Hata Mitsuyo, he was a famous swordsmith, famous for his short sword, nicknamed, "the Devil's kitchen knife":
The original first "Azumi" design by Bruno:

I do love a classic Bruno. My creativity get fanned and ignited when I see a razor of this ilk.
and its sharp looking too!

Whilst not quite as big as Hirlaus mines a 9/8 smiler that shaves like a dream.

I like that the ancient Tamahagane looks like it has battle scars.
Tc, which one is your favourite? Mine looks wise is the 2nd from the bottom with the deep thumb notch.

My fav of TC's is that one second from the top with the brown scales, the smiling blade, and the opening in the monkey tail. Traditional but with a bit of that Bruno modern flair to it. Originally Posted by markbignosekelly
