I just watched a Great shave video from an old Japanese barber. Very relaxing and good video. But in his second pass, he used what looks like a double Edge razor with a handle like a straight razor. Do you know what kind of razor this is?
Thank you very much
This is a really interesting razor. It seems to be based on an older Japanese razor, so that is probably what we see in the video.
I found out that Geofatboy have a couple of videos also
I had one. It and I came to a parting of the ways.
For me, the problem was that the blade is held nearly uncurved, so it can chatter and dig in.
It was a curiosity buy, sold on to someone whom I don't think I've seen around here for a while. Coincidence? Maybe...
I am not yet sufficiently intriqued to try the RazoRock Switch, but I am aware of it. I think the outfit needs a good DE head that will curve and hold a blade well. Not that it's the answer to everything, but I wonder what the BBS head would do if somebody mounted that sucker on a side-stick? Could be amazing; could just be a hillbilly kludge.
