Masterpiece Sword Kitajima Razor MICOR Mycar Leather Japanese Straight Razor

Kitajima Razor Micor Best Steel 3000

Kitajima Razor Japan

Western Straight Razor Micor, Myco, Micor

Purchased about 30 years ago and used, but I no longer need it, so I'm offering it to someone who wants it.

Even searching online, detailed information isn't readily available, but it seems to be a quite rare RAZOR.

Kitajima Razor, founded in Taisho 11 (1922)
Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo
Ceased operations in the mid-1990s

Currently, it's a discontinued item that is difficult to obtain due to the company's closure.

Rare single-bevel (chisel) wedge (bent bone shape, beta)

Best Steel = Highest quality carbon steel
3000 = High-end model number

Circle with K = Kitajima Co., Ltd., Kitajima Razor

This Micor was developed to pursue a razor that suits Japanese beards, comparable to overseas brands like Solingen and Henkel.

This is a Best Steel (highest quality steel) specification by the craftsmen of the time, which will satisfy those looking for Iwasaki, Henkotsu, or Tamahagane razors.

The box is not included.

Would this be of interest to collectors?

It has been sharpened once, but it is recommended for display or for those who can sharpen it themselves.

When using it, it might be better to attach a strop.

As it is an old item, there are signs of use and rust.

Shipping is planned via Yu-Packet Post, packed with bubble wrap and cardboard.

Thank you.
