Well, that's what they were designed to do. I don't know if any subsequent changes appeared after people started shaving their face with it, though. But with the Japanese being suckers for tradition, I doubt it has changed much.

I have one for variety, but I rarely use it. I seem to suck at stropping it, I put one or two good nicks on my strop with it . I use it the traditional way (non-stamp side to face) exclusively, because otherwise, what's the point? A spike point, har.

Nice score! Edges look spot on still with the bevel on the back and all.
I picked up a couple, for variety as well, tend not to reach for them often, due mostly to the shorter length. But a great change of pace.
Look forward to your review once received as well.

I really like the look of that Kamisori Phrank.. I like the way they did the grind,,, interesting

It looks like a nice blade! I have almost bid on a number of these, but I don't want a razor that I won't use and I would have to be in the right mood to try somthing that different...
As said, please give us a shaving report!
