A Hoshi Tombo 6500, complete with a spelling mistake in the logo. Kamisori sized blade - only 53mm long, but symmetrically ground like a Western straight. Looks to be in wonderful condition :):):)

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Actually TOMBO and TONBO are both considered valid romanization of トンボ. The N being the usual version of ン, but M being closer to the sound made when pronuncing ン before a B-sound.
Tombo is Japanese for Dragonfly!

You still in the hunt for the 8000 too?

Proceeds of the sale of my Fatboy yesterday went towards these beauties from @Mark .

CV Heljestrand Le Druc. Swedish straight made from Swedish steel. Quarter hollow 6/8 blade.

Vintage Tennis Straight Razor by Fritz Bracht Solingen Germany. A 6/8 hollow grind and Mark says "a real singer".

....Can't wait until they arrive - fingers-crossed Thursday.

That'll give me Sheffield, Solingen and Swedish steels to compare.
