Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, but I've been looking at getting my first straight razor for a while. I'm currently in Japan and I've stumbled across a cutlery shop called Kikuichi.
Apparently they're old sword makers dating back 750 years, for what that's worth, And now they do a lot of kitchen knives and scissors, but they had one straight razor, shown in attached picture. I don't really know anything about these yet but I was wondering if anyone knew the brand and thought it was a good deal for a first razor? It's ¥15000 so about $150 or a bit over £100.
Aside from that, anyone know a place to get a good deal on a razor in the Kansai or Kanto regions in Japan?
