Thread: Kamisori panic

Steel abrasion has never been a problem with any Kamisori, in fact just the opposite it is the control of abrasion that creates a problem... Simply rubbing the razor on a rock because this after all isn't Rocket Science is exactly the wrong way to hone one of these, it takes a change of pressure during the honing to not wreck the razor... Hamhanded honing on these wastes steel way faster then with a western razor and creates problems down the road with your razor...

@DaveW your statement of "Shaptons will chew through carbon steel quickly" is the problem not the solution, burning through the Kamisori steel is too easy which is where people mess up..


to the OP please don't even take my vids or Jims vids to heart, Iwasaki himself has a guide to how to hone his razors Jim and I have just adapted his and other Japanese honing guides and tried to show everyone how they work and what they mean.. Jim's version is probably more "Authentic" mine was done specifically without any Japanese terms to make it as easy as possible for us on this side of the pond..
