beautiful western style Japanese razor by Eiko which means "Glory" in Japanese., a fitting name for such a great looking Vintage piece. Produced in the 1960s/70s
The blade is resharpened and stropped by us to cut like the day it as produced. The razor is in very good shape. We do not high gloss polish the blades during restoration as this will destroy the vintage look of this old masterpiece entirely.
Some spots remain where we removed surface rust.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding this wonderful razor. We are happy to assist you.
