Hi Jay - I use it all the time. Lots of backbone with this one since the knot I used sits a bit deeper. Plus it's definitely one of a kind

Tanifuji 40 Maxfli Gold
And a beautiful one too.
Very nice Manaslu. You've shown some very nice Japanese blades lately. I don't think I've ever met a Japanese blade that I didn't like, as one properly honed, hold an edge like no other, and all give a fantastic shave.Ichiri Co., Y. Akamatsu Razor Works, Manaslu M-100.

Dovo Bergischer Löwe 5/8. The design of this razor is an interesting (and a bit weird) mix from different time epochs. The shape of the blade is from the last quarter of the 1800's. The etching is definitely inspired by the 1950's and the scales are as modern as can be. What matters though is how it shaves, and I find it to be an excellent razor, but I would recommend something more sturdy as a first razor.

Beauty, this razor is the reason I started "lurking" on various sites in hopes of finding one in just as perfect shape as this one.
Thank you, Richard, the Japanese emperor used a Tanifuji razor that's quite an endorsement, you would have thought he would have chosen an Iwasaki, well Tanifuji worked on and finished Iwasaki razors, perhaps the Emperor knew something we don't?
Thanks, all Tanfuji razors are great shavers, I have owned quite a few through the years.

First shave with a Henckels for me.

My thoughts when using this razor were, "Nice, but what's all the fuss about?" But post-shave, wow! One of the cleanest, closest, most effortless shaves I've had. So in retrospect I'm very pleased with this razor. I think I need to refine and smooth the edge a bit, but when I do this will be one stellar shaver.

I share your opinion. A saying among fans of the straight razors says "there is no Japanese who shaves badly"
