Thanked: 4Left-handed Kamisori? Lezcha / Kanenaga (Mizuike kobo)
Hey guys I'm wondering if I can get any feedback on these brands/razors. I've been using a Kamisori and practicing honing/stropping, etc with it. Problem is it's a right-handed razors and I'm left handed. This isn't a gigantic problem as my right hand isn't as hopeless as all that, but still it's not exactly comfortable.
Well obviously I've been thinking of investing in a left-handed Kamisori for a while now. Two I've been looking at are on Ebay; a left-handed, supposedly shave-ready, razor made by a 'master Lezcha,' from the Ukraine. I am a little wary of this, but who knows. The other is, as stated in the title, by Kanenaga brand and presumably the maker is Mizuike Kobo. I know this one is brand new, and selling from a Japanese retailer for a little more than the other. Presumably it will need more honing. Though I highly doubt the other is genuinely shave ready. Still who knows.
The Lescha razor is about 5 1/2 inches in total length with a roughly 2 inch long blade (measurements based on a scale photo next to a ruler, not exact) while the other is advertised as 1.96 inches (blade) and 6.1 inches total.
Perhaps someone could recommend other left-handed Kamisoris? I'd prefer to avoid spending a fortune but a couple of hundred dollars is OK.Last edited by dadsavage; 11-13-2013 at 02:35 AM.
