Thanked: 0Newly obtained kamisori have brought me here
Hey everyone, my name is Johnny and I have been using a dovo for the past year. I got the hang of using it as well as free hand honing and stropping the razor. A few months ago I purchased the Wicked Edge sharpening system and now my shaves have never been better. More recently I have just returned from a trip to Japan where I was able to obtain these three kamisori:
I was hoping that you fine people could help me identify these beautiful blades and give me as much information as possible. After browsing these forums I have learned that the bottom one is an Iwasaki. I would love to learn the makers of each razor, the steel, which ones I should hone and leave alone and which ones I should touch up and use. I still am not sure what caused me to do this, but I took the bamboo wrap and the plastic sleeving off of the middle blade. Underneath this brand new razor I was disappointed in discovering corrosion, pitting, and unattended file marks throughout the whole handle. I'm not sure if I should polish everything off or rewrap.
Thanks for any information and advice.
