Looks fantastic! Well done.
Straight Razor Acquisition Thread
- Thread starter wilbr11
- Start date
These arrived today...the MK31 was sadly traded away, and in a bizarre twist of fate and insane trading it has come back to me, which makes me extremely happy! I honed up the Zwillingswerk 14 today, and it’s passing the HHT all along the edge. I will give it a whirl tomorrow.

Those are all extremely rare, expensive and almost mythological razors, especially the 31 in tortoise scales. I hope you didn't kill someone to get them, did you? If you actually did I most confess that it bothers me that I can't decide on whether such a deed would be justified or not.

Ha! I just was very fortunate! That’s the story, and I am sticking to it.
The “tortoise” scales, are actually extremely well done plastic scales made by a master craftsman for the 31.
Thanks, and have a great weekend!

Very sorry for both of your losses.
Thank you
I looked for a hone/honing acquisition thread but there did not seem to be one. Yet this gigantic beautiful hunk of Nakayama had to be shared. I'd like to think this will be the end all be all hone for me, but I'm sure I'll eventually pick more up. This stone is over 3 pounds, 8"x3" and last but not least , over an inch and half thick. Very hard, easily handled a full Mikawa progression and a few of my tougher Tomos. Got it in the mail today.
My first soviet razor. "Extra"1954
Few pics of Japanese beauties.
Super razor. Gorgeous scales:

I will admit I am not familiar with straight razors pricing or buying since I only owned one till now and have only shaved once with one but I found this while out and about today only paid $15 not sure what they run but hopefully I did well and got a good razor with out over paying
it would be nice to know if I did well or not and to know more about the razor

Did you buy it from a turnip truck driver? You did very well my friend unless there is hidden damage the photos are not picking up!
Unless some one sees something I’m missing the only issues I see are in the picture on the back of the blade the light scuffing when I saw it and it looked like it does and not like the cracked and chipped blades I usually see out I had to buy it
You got a hell of a deal on that razor. Those gor for 10x or more than what you paid. That is unless there is some sort of hidden damage I dont see.
I didn’t need another razor, but.... I added this Heljestrand MK32 to my MK33 and MK6. Anyone else out there using their straights more than their DEs during this quarantine?
It's engraved "尾中敏泰 Onaka(尾中) Toshiyasu(敏泰)"
This is barber's name who seems to have been an influential barber before the 80's and also wrote a technical book.
And I envy your beautiful Cape Kennedy '77

That Onaka Toshiyasu is absolutely beautiful.
I love the red letters in the darker rough steel and well everything about it looks fantastic.
