Thread: How does one hone a kamisori?

Hello All,

I finally got my kamisori in the mail, and it will not pass ANY shave test I know of. How would I go about Getting it back to Shave Ready? Only one person on this forum near me says he can and that is Mr. Floppyshoes. Not that I doubt his skill, I will probably send it out for the first few touch ups. I Just wanna know HOW to hone one for future reference when I get my stones. Any one got a kamisori honed by Mr. Floppyshoes or any razor honed by him that can vouch for his skill? The last razor I sent out to someone came back all scratched and dull and didn't shave nicely at all and cost me $80.00 after shipping there and back. So looking for Feedback. Tho I think I should have reviewed people on this forum first for honing instead of a store site ad. I am only human and wanted to 'save' money. lol think I got ripped off......and ruined a nice gold dollar razor in the process.


Any info would be much appreciated.

James
