Extreme sharpness is ephemeral!
Iwasaki​

The legendary blacksmith Mr Shigeyoshi Iwasaki was born in 1933 and was trained by among others his father Dr Iwasaki Kousuke that designed Iwasaki Kamisori also a metallurgist famous for classifying Japanese steels i.e. "yellow paper", "white paper", "blue paper" etc.
He also took part in an investigation of ancient swords and knives kept at Syousou-In, a treasure house built in the 8th century.
When he was not in his forge, he taught technical skills and metallurgy theory to young blacksmiths from Sanjo as Shigefusa and Yoshikane
​

This one is Old and made By Iwasaki himself! Western Iwasaki razors are Super Rare and very hard to find.


Many Japanese collectors are also on a search for them so for us outside Japan it is even harder to get!​

This razor is an excellent shaver. It's industrial strength and I was very impressed with it. It's thick spined, dead quiet in the hand, takes a beautiful edge and is just a shaving machine. Great shave this morning. Have a good one.
