    Default Kosumosu 800

    Interesting razor.
    Got it in a lot and immediately popped out of the crowd.

    7/8 french point, 1/2 to full hollow.

    I am unfamiliar with the brand, sounds Japanese, but no one on SRP could give me any info, and my google-fu yielded no results.
    I know that the name is related to a flower and literally means Cosmos.

    The razor looked so good that I had to give it proper clothing.
    I decided to go with horn, it is my first time working with it.

    I decided that since this is a Japanese (most likely) razor it will have to undergo the Japanese treatment on the hones.
    Set bevel on 1k Chosera
    Then jump to Ozuko Suita which amazingly enough is 1-8k range hone.
    Low quality Nakayama for med finisher
    Nakayama Asagi finisher.

    Amazing edge, and if I can say the loudest singing razor I can remember.

    But enough blabbering here is the evidence:

    Black horn, with nice gray figuring.
    nickel-silver pins brass/stainless washers
    White bone wedge.
    This razor has the same type of shank as a Fridour but much easier to fit because it was not warped








    Thanks for looking
    Stefan

    Cool, I never heard of the brand, but it looks amazing. Would definitely like to try a razor in Blue #2 steel after the amazing shave I got from my deba.

    Nahh I'd rather shave with a Usuba. I just like the single bevel thing

    BTW Nice job & nice pics.
