Not necessarily. There are a bunch of near wedge razors as well. It's just the steel and the grind on them. They are just comfortable and smooth.
On eBay for some reason some extra hollow, but no wedge not seen...Not necessarily. There are a bunch of near wedge razors as well. It's just the steel and the grind on them. They are just comfortable and smooth.
Why almost all Japanese razors type kikuboshi, diamond hayashi - extra hollow ground?

Thank you, I'll read itLooking at these razors on eBay led me to a question and to finding a very interesting article.
I discovered I have one more of these than I thought.
I bought this one:
Who knows what kind of steel it is?Near wedge 185 ORION KIKUBOSHI TAKEHANA Japanese Straight Razor #R015 | eBay
This item used at Japanese barber. SIZE : Overall length 233 mm. Blade length 65 mm. CONDITION : Very good ++ Blade has rust marks and scratches. Blade width 20.9 mm.www.ebay.com
I found the same on the russian site, the seller recommends it for hard bristles...I hope it will shave well
These in the plastic ivory scales were narrower, and on my ivory scaled Cape 1000 with the Tanifuji stamp and the Cape 2000 w/o, the heel can be easily felt at the bottom of the scales. Not good. The Cape 1000 with Tanifuji stamps are not common, so the first thing I’d try, and am going to try, is thin the wedge so the blade sits higher in the scales when closed.
Must be a thing with cheap ivory colored scales; my Novodur #13 shows a bit of heel below the scales when closed. I only noticed this hazard during my last shave.
I have one of those, ivory colored scales?
