Vintage IWASAKI 70mm Japanese Straight Razor
I have seen the shape of the blade in the used straight market sometimes, especially before concave shaped blade era.
I have also seen the same type of straight razor blade in the show case at Sanjyo Seisakjyo(Iwasaki factory) in Nigata, Japan, when I visited there.
I thought Iwasaki also made the blade like other straight razor maker, but I had never seen the shape of the blade made by Iwasaki in used market.
I am not sure whether people interesting or not, but it is very rare for sure.
It looks it has used and sharpened many times, but it is still in very good condition to me, and I see some wearing on the shoulder and edge.
The blade length: 70mm (2 3/4 inch)
The total length of the razor: 140mm (5 1/2 inch)
The thickness of the shoulder: 6mm (1/4 inch)
The width of the blade from the edge to the shoulder: 19mm-20mm (13/16 inch) The total weight of the razor: 2.1oz.
