    Default 6/8 green wrapped kamisori

    Here is a razor made for a fellow member, I hope the wait was worth for him!

    6/8 wide, made from O1 steel at 61HRC, symmetrical grind (western), wrapping is green cord impregnated with CA glue. Somehow it remained very natural to the touch, I will use this technique more in the future. Very nice little shaver, finished on Jnats just for the added japanese feeling

    Please let me know how you like her, I am starting to like these japanese razor more and more myself too. I am thinking about making a bunch with different cords, I have found some really nice colors in a shop nearby

    Very nice, one of these days I will get a kamisori. Something elemental and primal about the look they have.

    Glen has it nailed;
    it captures that simple elegance and for me that is the draw to them.
    Nice work.
