Japanese Kamisori style - The search is on.....
I am on the hunt for a quality Kamisori style razor. I currently use mostly wedges and all is well but I feel wanting....maybe a Kamisori?
I don't know much about the different manufacturers "or craftsmen". I know there are not many left and I don't know if I trust the newer makers to be a quality product.
When I mention "quality" I do not mean especially expensive, just quality.
This will be my first Japanese razor and I really don't know about the honing process. I have no issues with honing a standard wedge or smiley razor, but the grind of the Kamisori is much different. I know the blades are of a bi-hardness metal that is softer at the spine with a blade that is extremely hard.
Just looking for a good source for purchase and some good teachers to explain the honing process.
