Thread: Kamisori Questions?

I didn't mean to offend you. I was just wondering? Isn't that true?

Yep I offended you. Well sorry about that, just trying to learn.

No, you're not.

Several times you've
- given 'advice' without being qualified to do so.
- posted 'facts' that are plain wrong.
- told some very experienced people that you disagree with them.

You've been given tons of advice which you repeatedly ignore. You don't want to LEARN. You want to be told and you want to impress with 'knowledge' that you really don't have.

In short, you've managed to alienate many of the people here who've tried to help you. People who have many years or in some cases decades of hands on experience with metal. Don't be surprised if more people are starting to ignore you.

In the mean time look at this.

Here we see what appears to be three different grinds on Kamisori style razors.

The first looks like a curve on top but it is flat.
The second is hollow on both grinds very slight on one side though (made buy Puma)
The third seems to be more in line with what traditional kamisori look like.




Interesting.

Only the first pic looks like a real kamisori - the second one looks like a regular blade with a flat ground along the shoulder on one side, the thirs id a cut down blade - you can see the pivot hole in the pic...

Good explanation, Neil. A little searching on your part will provide knowledge rather than unneccessary questions, Nicko.
Go to the search bar and type in what you wish to know. There are thousands of threads here where everything under the sun has been discussed. In this way, you can discover that Puma is not a maker of Kamisori. You can develop sight to tell you one grind from another. Your questions, if I may, seem to border on laziness. You have an obligation to explore and learn by what is written in order to ask real questions. If you cannot take everyone's advise to learn to shave with these and try different grinds, is also a sign of laziness, IMO. You seem to want answers on a platter to questions far beyond your comprehension. Slow down. Search the forum. Learn to shave. Learn about concrete things. Everything is virtually within the posts of this forum!
Then, and only then, will you be able to participate in meaningful dialogue with these gentlemen.
Everyone is here to help, Nicko. You must do your part to help as well. And most importantly. You must realize that the Bruno is always right.
Sincerely,
Tom

I agree with Bruno & Sharptonn.

I tried to say the same thing in your other thread but somehow you missed it.
Independent study is what it used to be called. Perhaps now it is called research. But you need to read & watch everything first then actually start using a straight razor for your shaving tool.

Ya just gotta do your homework !!!

Wasn't Bruno wrong once? Or was that JimmyHAD...?

Homework??? But it is not on the internet.. oh wait it is.
Can you imagine if this question was risen 10 years ago.. all that going to the library and reading books, ughhh.

Yeah, the good old bad old days! In truth, I preferred referencing 'real' books, making notes, tying things up - the nature of solving the problem called-up other avenues to explore, and the enforced silence aided concentration. There is certainly a lot on the net, though, but unseen problems often arise when people paraphrase and type out other peoples remarks - just one little error can change everything or send you chasing down a blind avenue. And the sad fact remains that the data on the net is only as good for as far as it goes - it doesn't even begin to approach the vast quantity of written documentation that can be had - if you know where to look for it! However once you acquire the knack a kingdom lays itself open to you.

Don't get too sentimental about books - the only difference between a book and the internet is that with a book you have to get the content past an editor who has no clue what you are writing about. Reviewers often have agendas, research funding sources are tight, publishing margins are thinner....

The trick is critical reading in my book, whether it be journals, technical monographs, historical references, or internet forums. Who is the author, what are their affiliations, what is their area of expertise and how was that expertise obtained, why have they written what they have written, who paid for it, who reviewed it, what do other people say about it, does it make sense in light of your current knowledge, does it extend your current knowledge in a ways that make sense, etc etc

There is a wealth of information out there, but you only get "rich" from it if you know how to use it properly.
