Hi - Just the angle of the head. Not a useful feature in my experience, but looks sexy perhaps!

Swing Razor from Sweden, replated rose gold by onotoman:

Swing razors are gorgeous and perfectly weighted.

I have had a couple of Swing-like handles custom made for a couple of favourite single edge razors:

[MENTION=66202]Snowbeard[/MENTION] - You have been a busy collector. I love your unusual razors. Great stuff.

PS - Chris at RazorPlate does great work doesn't he?

Hello, I scored this Japanese Old Type clone a couple days ago. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Here are a couple of photos-




Thanks in advance for any input.

I have no idea, but I'm jealous !

Wish there was some way to put an image into the google translator.

I tried to figure it out, but there's just too many to go through, and if they are one little mark off they mean something completely different.

Well the three in the middle are katakanas and not kanjis, thay can be read "to-tsu-ha", if that can help ?

Thank you Cha-Wing!! . A fellow on another forum sent copies of the photo of the base plate to a friend of his who was fluent in Japanese writings, and he told me the writing says " Made in Japan, Hat of best quality. " hat meaning top cap or head. I have found a fellow who knows a lot about Japanese razors, and I have sent him photos. I am awaiting his response. Hopefully I will hear from him soon.

 

[Cha-wing!!]

Ok great !

You absolutely don't need that Lady Pomco, you should send it my way
