Do these size wheels represent a known or commonly used ratio? Or, were they just suitable given the pieces forged? Asked another way, did you forge to the wheel sizes, or did you choose the wheel sizes to suit the piece forged? How did you come to choose those particular sizes? I'm a complete layman, but am fascinated with the kamisori. I have one, shave with it about every fourth time, and admire the sophistication dwelling in something that looks so simple. Forgive me if my questions don't make sense.

Cheers,

Jack

Since a kamisori needs different hollows, you just need to take 2 wheel sizes that are sufficiently far apart.
The exact ratio doesn't matter afaik.

I dont know the original diameters.

Sorry I don’t have good answer. I’m still experimenting with diameters, surfaces and lines. At the moment this diameters are the ones that work best for me.

wow, very very nice man, I think you really captured the traditional Japanese feel here, though i am no expert. But I really like them, do you just post your razors for sale in the classifieds here? or you got a website?

Gents, please keep any sales talk, pricing or marketing away from the open forum. Keep it private if you can.
