A really nice looking folding Kamisori that's going to clean up well Stefan, they are great shavers, can be a little tricky to hone, but once you have it right they are wonderfully sharp and so comfortable to strop because of the slightly shorter blade.

Have honed and shaved with my new Hoshi Tombo 8000 the last couple of days, she is one nice little girl!

Congrats! Now at least I know who beat me to it - have seen it as well but needed a day too long to decide. Enjoy the shaves!

Here my two Japanese straights, both made of Swedish steel. The first one is the Gold King (Gold-Rex) with a 13/16" full hollow blade. This very same razor has been presented in this thread already once by its previous owner, I just wanted the opportunity to post an edited photograph I personally find very nice.
The second one is a recent addition to the rotation and came to me as NOS, a TŌWA, also roughly 13/16" and full hollow. The same brand and model of razor has also already been presented here by a few other members, so nothing really new there. First shave with it was today and a very enjoyable one it was.

Nice finds. The Rex and the Towa's are superb straight razors.
