I have seen positive comments regarding Japanese Straight razors and I am thinking about buying a western style Japanese Straight. I have been looking at razors for sale on line and there are so many different brands. A lot of them have English names or English text printed on them. Some that I have looked at include Parker, Ribbon, Tanifuji, and H. Diamond. I would appreciate some recommendations to help me narrow down the choices to a few quality brands which made good daily shavers.
