Thread: Japan Woodworker Iwasaki Razors--Finally Arrived!

I've been waiting patiently (NOT!) since I got on the list back in March and finally they called me to say an initial shipment came in. I guess the waiting list is still longer than the number of available razors, so some poor folks will be waiting still. And it appears that the price varies according to when you got on the list...I got on early <very big grin>.

It's a beautifully crafted razors (sorry for the crumby cellphone camera photos but you've seen these before) and I can't wait to use it. Fortunately, I didn't shave today, so tomorrow morning will be a good initial test. It is sharp enough to take hair off my forearm, so all it will get before hand is stropping on some 0.5 micron diamond paste.

This is my third Japanese straight razor and I want to thank floppyshoes for getting me started on them and giving me great instructions on how to hone them. I know this type of razor is a passing fancy for many, but my Tosuke-handled razor is my daily razor and I just hope the Iwasaki will be the new go-to razor.

Happy Dan!
