Vintage Kikuboshi 135 SmilingJapanese Straight Razor in excellent condition! This razor is extremely similar to the R.SAITO SK3 designed by Ryuichi Saito, the personal barber of the Japanese Imperial family. This smiling blade was created to provide an extra comfortable and luxurious shaving experience.Kikuboshi was actually one of the manufacturers that produced R.SAITO SK1, SK2, and SK3 blades. However, the 135 is more difficult to find, especially in this condition with so much of the blade width in tact. The fit and finish is top class. This is a razor that combines the best of aesthetic design and high performance. A piece of history that is a wonderful addition to any collection! Measurements:Blade Width: 21.0mm or ~13/16" Shave ready! Customers are frequently pleased by the sharpness of my blades. All razors are honed with a taped spine (kamisori being the exception) and are finished on either a high end Japanese natural stone (Ozuku, Nakayama, etc) or a super fine synthetic Suehiro 20K (if you have a preference, let me know). Each razor is then stropped with a fine Kanayama cordovan strop for the ultimate sharp and smooth shaving edge. Finally, each razor is sanitized with alcohol before being securely packed.Complementary USPS first class shipping in the USA!International Buyers – Please Note:Import duties, taxes, and charges
