Post Your Pictures: Japanese Razors

[Luc]

Did you get this razor from me? It looks familiar.

Yes I did, great buy that one!

I remember the sale thread. I tried to offer some quality razors at lower-than-usual prices. It's from Japan. Japanese razors often had "Highest Steel" on them.

Just got this Toyo #666 in from Telly.

What is the significance/meaning of the 666,my tanifujis are both marked 666.

Just a model number is my guess, I am sure 666 does not have any other meaning.

Understandable if both are made by the same company,maybe they are,dunno

Was not Toyo different company than Tanifuji?

[spindlecone]

I think so,still 666 has to have some meaning,some refferance to something,just curious.

I am sure the numbers between different manufacturers do not have any connection other than meaning some model number.
Same with Solingens, for example Kama#77 and Henkels #77 does not mean they were made by the same company.

Tanifuji , at least the ones I have seen , stamp the blades so you know they were made by them.

I received this Toyo 666 from Telly on Tuesday, a wonderful shaver!

I couldn't resist a kamisori either, so a New Azuma arrived yesterday. By some massive coincidence it came with a Toyo Scheon Burg box, it's so close to being the box the razor originally came in (the box is for the 665).

I've just picked up a 666 recently, and I'm on the look out for a box, in case anyone happens to find one laying around... telly is the man.
I love Japanese razors quite a bit.

Man oh man those are some beautiful razors you all have.

Here's my latest, it a Toyo 663.

this thread is poisonious. looking at all these nice straights is making me tempted to learn how to use one and maintain it properly.

[life2short1971]
