Thread: A Kamistory, starring Jenes Sandor

Now it works. This happens often. Won't open the first time I look at the post. I come back later, and the pictures are there. Maybe Firefox is getting buggy on my Mac. I'll just have to live with it, I guess. And, the kami is amazing! Thanks for trying - there was one image on the link you suggested.

Many Thanks for sharing the entire process "T"
I like most of us love the razor porn of course and you did a great job on the pics, but I really enjoyed reading about how you and Jenes worked through the design ideas...

Jenes beautiful execution of the ideas as always

Stunning workmanship.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. This project took a fair amount of thought, and so I thought it better to show it as a process rather than just an end product. The razor admittedly isn't a crazy or classic design, and thus might not hit all the right buttons in a community like this, but it is well executed and very practical.

I still kinda like the aesthetics of the Iwasaki though I don't really like it ergonomically. I wonder what a razor like mine would look like in a rougher finish, maybe with kuro-uchi. Ah well, can't afford random new razor projects now.

Very cool project.

Wow...
Love the details in the design concepts and the final product.
He really put a lot of character into the final razor.
Beautiful work.

I agree entirely with your analogy about holding the Kamisori feels like holding the edge of a coin - you have obviously overcome that with the broader thumb grip. Looks like a great job by both of you.

Very nice story and very nice project! I really like the way you tweaked the whole razor with ergonomics in mind. I am the lucky owner of the above mentioned Dragon Slayer and it's a perfect shaver. In all honesty, I have to say that you went quite far from your initial plan. The file-work and the etching as well as the nose gives this blade it's character. You changed these three vital points and still came up with an awesome razor. I think either Sandor or you should give this one a new name.
Once again: very nice story and great to see your thoughts and desires come to life in the hands of Sandor. I'll drink to that!

One of the best kamisori ever seen.
Unique and original.
Congrats.

Love your style!!
Awesome!!
