I was likely eyeballing that Diamanten on eBay a few months ago...NOS and a very affordable price since it's not a well-known brand. I really loved those crazy blue scales! Nice to see one here on SRP.

I know the one you are talking about I had just gotten this one but THAT one went for a BARGAIN! This one was NOS as well. Originally Posted by Speedster

The blade intrigued me and the scales pushed me over. Can't wait to give her a shave.

Hey Dan, thats a kamisori with scales, 99% of kamisoris have an asymmetrical grind like yours. Typically the shorter less concaved side goes against your mug to shave with and receives more honing strokes than the other.
Search for kamisoris and you'll find loads of info on them. I personally love mine and im hope you will too.

That's me diving in to the Kami deep end without a net! I'll let you know how the landing goes...

I had my first Kami shave this morning! I watched a couple of videos and then went for it with the Omote side out. It was awkward at first and double awkward because I can't use my left hand when shaving (it won't obey). However, 30 minutes after I started I was done and had only one small spot on my upper lip that drew blood. It was quite fun and I know I'll get better with practice. The one aspect that I was comfortable to me was the use of the scales, they felt comfortable in my hand and gave me a bit of additional confidence.
