Because i have been waiting on this razor for a few days, i decided not to shave so i had a good amount of beard to test this NOS Japanese razor out, well she arrived yesterday, i honed and stropped the razor yesterday, well she certainly delivered today a two pass super smooth shave as i expected to be honest, my expectations of anything Japanese that have a sharp edge as always been high and this one proved no exception, another fine blade from Japan.
