Special Note - This vintage 55 Pechika razor is used but still in excellent condition. A beautiful example of fine Japanese craftsmanship, this 50+ year old Pechika is uniquely crafted with its various grinds and notches which resembles bamboo, it is sheathed in beautiful faux horn scales. The blade is made with high quality Yasuki steel ヤスキ鋼 (which is sometimes known as Tamahagane). There is a very slight taper towards the toe and some superficial surface marks, but overall this Pechika is very nice. From my own personal rotation, this Pechika has given me exquisite shave after shave. The blade is tight in its scales and closes perfectly centered. The scales show light wear and are still very shiny. Quite a rare blade in this condition. A beauty to keep for a lifetime.
