Awesome photo! A normal person looks at it and says, “how could you use all that!”. A shaving nerd looks at it and says, “Oh, I have that one.”, “Yes, that’s a great scent.”, “I love having that brush.”, and so on.

But … look at the etch and gold wash on that razor!! Wow! Great find! Looks as if it was very rarely used. I assume that the geometry, was near perfect.

I’m quite familiar with Yoshihiro knives, but was unaware they had a line of whetstones. Was there a feature of these stones that attracted you, or did you just want to try something different? My coolest synthetics are my Matukusuyama stones. I don’t have them in grit sizes fine enough for razors unfortunately, but love using them for knives.
