Yes they can be had for for $150 or so all day long. Just like western straights some are more desirable than others.These are great pictures. Are there cheaper japanese straights on the market? I've been interested but whenever I find a japanese striaght anywhere online it's always upwards of at the very least 300+. Are there such things as beginners japanese straights?

Wow, great photos of great razrs! I'll add my humble efforts of my one and only Japanese ... oh, I guess I could have included my Feather ... razor.
If anyone knows anything about it, I'm all ears. I plan to clean it up and have a go at honing it eventually.
I picked up a NOS Hanasama (6/8 @ widest) from Telly earlier this year (pics are from his ad). Hard to believe how long this thing keeps an edge... one heck of a great shaver!
Arghhh!! This thread is causing my JRAD to act up! I don't know if it counts, because I just bought this baby and haven't yet received it, but here are the vendor's photos of my newest acquisition:

Tokyo Coral, 6/8
Man I love seeing that Akamatsu M-55 Manaslu, 6/8
Saw one on eBay about a month back that I was totally going to gun for, but the seller unfortunately ended the auction early. Lovely, lovely blade!
But I am having a hell of a time getting the hang of shaving with them. I never fail to cut myself with one of the little "terror sticks."
Did you get that Coral from me? I remember selling one here.
Great now you tell me

You might have been looking at one of my listings. I often end listings early because I sell the razor off of ebay. I sold the M55 to someone in Greece for about $145. He then sold it on eBay for $190.
I was going to post some pictures, but after seeing Telly's post I'm too much in awe of his post to post my razors to after his.
Telly, that Coral razor you had was one of the few razors you offered me that I did not buy. What a bone head move!!!
Hanasama - For the price, nothing beats this razor.
Iwasaki - Swedish steel
Iwasaki - Tamahagane steel
My other razor, H Diamond Hayashi #8000
