Thread: Japanese blue rubber grip

I have just bought a old Japanese razor and have been looking for a new blue rubber grip as the one that came with it was worn through.





Would anyone know if this is a collector as I have no idea.

The TOSUKE Rubber Grip can be purchased from AframesTokyo for about $9 dollars they are not always in stock.

Just received a reply from them they do not stock them anymore too expensive
Thank you

No they are the ones I tried no longer stocked,

Another option is to wrap it. There are YouTube videos showing how to do it.

I have tried see photo there is a firm in the UK that wrap it with red felt and bambo?
I was just trying to make it as it was it came with a hard blue rubber grip that was worn through it shaves very well first time I have tried one of these. It came sharp but it looked like it had been in storage for a while.

Heavy duty shrink wrap tubing you can use a hairdryer to shrink it once you've placed it on the handle.

That looks like it will do Thank You

You can also try Tony's work. He is a fellow countryman of yours and does the traditional Kamisori wrapping. These kinds of wrappings prevent moisture issues with the handle. Tony is a real gentleman.
