Post Your Pictures: Japanese Razors

Thanks! I tried them out on a whim when I found one for a good deal. Now I’m wondering why I didn’t get one sooner! I’m going to spend more time on the hones today to get it shaving ready.
 
A member here on B&B told me this one could be Japanese, possibly made by Kitschy. I haven't been able to find anything on the internet. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

Here are two japanese razors that I picked up recently. Both were bought as nos the atlas needed some time on the hone but the ribbon was just in need of s good stropping.

Atlas for barbers use and ribbon razor, both about 6/8 and very similar blade shape. The atlas is a heavier grind while the ribbon is more hollow ground.

Basil, beautiful razors. Dryphter, man those scales look awesome.

Agreed - main reason I bought it. The seller said 'very slight taper' when in reality I would say it's definitely more than that as it's got fair amount of wear towards the toe. But the scales are fantastic and it honed up well.
 
I really love the shape (and swirling colors) of those scales. Really different. I can't tell if it's a western or kamisori grind. Nice looking stone!

Here's my newest: really pristine Kikuboshi (full hollow western) on a really pretty little rock.

Beautiful! I have a kikuboshi I’ve yet to hone. Need to get on that!

The eiko is a western grind near wedge. It just mows down the hair.

Is that a super kikuboshi?

It is a gorgeous razor. I have a super kikuboshi and love it. The shave is like nothing else.
