Item Description
I posted about these Japanese framebacks a while back and ended up getting some. I kept one and two others now have one.
It came to me in near NOS condition. I don't know if it was ever used but it was in very good shape when I got it.
The razor is a frameback style razor that Japanese Barbers once used. The box says it is Swedish steel, I am not sure if that is true, but it is a posibility.
The razor blade portion is very thin and has a lot of flex. I honed it as I do all of my razors, a combination of lapping film and my Chosera hones and decded to finish it on the CroOx. I waited a couple of days before using it. I finally used it this morning.
Because the blade is so thin I was thinking it would be a noisy shaver but it has turned out that in not the case. Perhaps it is because it is so keen.
The razor slid/cut through my wiskers, litterally like a hot knife through butter. No noise just pure heaven. It left the first pass of my shave nearly BBS. I did my typical second pass and called it quits. My routine is WTG and a XTG only.
No irritation just a smooth slick face.
If you have the chance to try one of these I definately recomend it.
It will not dissapoint.
