Nowhere else you will find this quality of all, buy with confidence. Staraet Super 45 Yasuki Steel.

If the product looks good in the pictures that Ryan posts, wait until you have it in your hands, the quality of the product is beyond compare, so much so that I did hesitate to use it, it feels more like you should display it instead. I honestly don't believe you will find a product of this quality anywhere else, let alone for the very good prices offered here. The first shave with this blade was way better than expected, smooth as butter, fluid as water and a whole enjoyable experience.
Besides the extraordinary razor, Ryan stands by his products and services, with firmness and ethics that I haven't seen before, I will be monitoring this website every time I am looking for a new razor. I don't intend to buy nowhere else, and you shouldn't neither, if you are serious about the whole straight razor shaving experience, look no further, here is what you're looking for.

The Kamisori and Strop set arrived today, very well packaged, the Kamisori was out of the case individually wrapped and well secured, the case and strop were both individually wrapped also. Upon opening and examining the Kamisori, I ''unfortunately" reached a decision that this is to fine a set to use on a daily basis (as intended), instead it is now in my razor display in the study, taking the spotlight!!. I will now continue to use my R2 steel Tosuke until I locate another NOS Kamisori that is "not" as lovely as this one!! I would have no hesitation purchasing from Ryan @ Shave Armory again, with the quality product I received, e-mail questions and advice answered promptly and in detail, I couldn't be any happier, cheers Ryan

This is from my "Shave of the Day" with my new Dorko..

"Dorko #43 Premier. Needless to say, I was looking forward to this shave with much anticipation. The Near Wedge silently cleared away my stubble.. The edge was "as supplied" by Ryan at Shave Armory, off his Nakayama Maruka.. very keen, and I used a light touch, as the HHT was quite vivid. Those who know me know that I like heavy grinds, and I'm very happy with the Dorko!"

J'ai réceptionné mon Fila Novodur. Tout simplement superbe, d'abord à l'oeil, vu qu'il semble neuf, mais surtout au rasage. Je l'ai testé dès réception, sans même le passer au strop, afin de juger. Il est véritablement "shave ready". La lame est tranchante et douce. FAN-TAS-TI-QUE ! Merci Ryan.

An amazing Fila, truly NOS and truly shave ready. What a treat for my face !

This razor was received yesterday expertly packaged by Ryan with one of the most keen comfortable edges I've experienced. I shaved with it this morning and it effortlessly removed a 4 day growth. I have to say with all the razors I've purchased from Shave Armory , Ryan is really consistent. All questions are promptly answered, the purchases are shipped promptly being securely packaged and most important is his consistency in putting a superb edge on a blade! I think he sells top notch merchandise and would never hesitate to make another purchase from him. You can really trust the way he describes what he sells.
