Feon 6800 Swedish Steel Kikuboshi - 13/16

For me, this Kikuboshi tends towards a blazing hot edge. But, with a light touch and some mindful attention, it delivers unbelievably close shaves. Love this razor.

70 Danshaku (Baron) quarter hollow. Takigawa also sold a couple full hollow models that translate to Duke and Earl.

I almost forgot to post, just in time for the end of Japanese steel week!

A newly gifted to me, by a very generous B&B member, Elizabeth. My only Japanese razor. Glad to be able to participate.

Happy shaving gents!

Tai Hei Quarter Hollow

 

[rhgg2]

For frameback Friday, this Biken. As well as the land of the rising sun, Japan is also the land of the brutal heel modification, and someone had a really good crack at this one. On the plus side, I can be 100% sure that I'm not honing on the stabiliser.

Manaslu M300

I’ve only got two Japanese razors so this is round 2 with this Manaslu. I used to have another one that I sold to raise funds for something, don’t remember what, but ended up buying this off the BST. That was a great purchase, this has been one of my favourite razors since I got it. Another beauty of a shave with it again tonight.
