Got this one a few months ago and today finally got to taking some pics of it.
I worked one one like that for a member and really liked it so as soon a I had the chance I got one for myself.
Kamisori grind NOS condition, it has spots here and there that I will clean one day when I have time for it.

13/16 Rugby Phoenix. I was looking for a heavier ground razor and found this one from Takeshi. It has the nicest factory finish of any razor I've had.

6/8" Hayashi Diamond 1/4 grind. One of my favourite razors the shave with.

R.Saito SK1. Minimal honewear, probably honed just a handful of times because it is barely visible.
That thing is shorter than I expected, shaves like a dream, but it is a tricky bastard to wield.

Nice looking razor. If other razors have a smile, then this one is more like LOL.
 
My entry into kamisoris...This is a Mizuochi-san Iwasaki Kamisori with a 50mm blade, a width equivalent to a 6/8, and a wisteria covered handle. The hagane (inner) is Swedish SK-2 Steel (ultra-high carbon steel, with a carbon content of 1.15% - 1.25%), while the jigane (outer) is soft iron. This one was made in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, Japan...

I also have a Takahashi Kanatake kamisori on the way...

Additional contribution to the thread...Takahashi Kanetake kamisori. Another 50mm blade ("icchou-gake" size), with inner "hagane" made of shirogami "white" 1 steel (1.25% - 1.35% carbon content, placing it in the ultra-high carbon steel category), and an outer "jigane" of iron. This razor was made by Mr. Norikazu Takahashi in Miki, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.
