Iwasaki 7/8 (22mm) Blade - New Japanese Kamisori Straight Razor - in wooden box

Iwasaki razors are still made today in the traditional way at the Iwasaki workshop (called "Sanjyo Seisakujo") located in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture Japan, a renowned metalworking center. Swedish Sandvik steel is hand forged and laminated to a softer jigane low carbon steel to create a shaving instrument that is as beautiful as it is supremely functional. 

Blade:
• Composition: laminated steel and iron
• Overall razor: Approximately 6 1/2" (16.5cm)
• Cutting edge: just under 2" (5cm) long, 7/8" (22mm) blade width
Box: Comes carefully and wonderfully packages in a Paulownia wood presentation  box 
Honing: This razor has been honed by the maker and is shave ready for most purposes. However, to assure the most pleasant shaving experience we can hone this razor on genuine Japanese synthetic and natural hones free of charge. If this free service is desired please leave us a note at checkout and allow an extra 2-3 business days before shipment.
