Sure, sure...blame it all on Telly

I don't think B&B has enough bandwidth to handle loading photos of all of Henry's razors.

That smiling R. Saito / Kikuboshi is a killer
How do you hone that???

Normally, if you use an X motion, your wrist doesn't move. Your arm moves as one. For this razor, I used an X motion while simultaneously rotating my wrist so that I could get the entire edge to touch the hone at some point. It sounds more complicated than it is in practice.
There is a part of me that knows that it's going to be Japanese razors that lure me into straight shaving. Thanks to everybody for sharing such wonderful photos.
I only got one. I have to admit, I must be a minority, I don't like the frameback razors and I'm not a huge fan of this one. It's a very nice razor and Telly facilitated the transaction (thanks again). I used it a few times but I'm still debating if I shouldn't leave it on a shelf for a few weeks and try again or just sell it.
I like the look but I think I have something for French, British and German razors...

I'm sure you'll have a hard time selling that one.

Telly - among the razors you show, I recognize some you have sold. Which have you kept for yourself?
My small japanese collection.
This one I bought from a japanese ebay-seller, but I don't know if it's really a japanese blade.
The Tosuke is mine, the Kanetake I had just for sharpening here.
The KAI Captain Excelia. It's not really a straight, but I love that thing, because it's always shaveready, needs no honing or stropping. A great razor.

That KAI just looks cool!
Did you get a chance to shave with the Kanetake while you had it? I wonder how it stacks up to a Tosuke.

Here is my latest acquisition, a Fon Golden Star Deluxe. Believe it or not, SRAD has been on the wane here for a while.
