Thanked: 2284Gotta tell someone! 3 custom Kamis ordered!!!
Yes, I have 3 Custom Kamisoris ordered and I'm super excited for all 3 to come. All 3 are at different stages at the moment, and all 3 are from different makers. I have really come to like some of the modern style, and modern takes on old style kamis these days and I needed to have......... a few.
First one, After talking to Jon from Alberta ( Thisisclog ) a few weeks ago, he said that the Kamisori he is making me is almost complete. Will I be the first person on the planet with a Canadian made Kamisori!!??? This thought goes through my head and I get all giddy inside. Jon is a newer razor maker and from some of his pics, he's doing lovely work. I think some of you have seen his work on here and in person. This will also be my first, brand new razor which has me excited as well.
Number 2 is from Morgan J Miller (Silverloaf) I told him I wanted a Western ground, smiling, 2" long edge Kamisori and I believe he has it rough cut but still has other blades to finish before he moves on with it. I have always admired his razors and If you haven't seen his work, you should do a quick search and check his stuff out. He does some huge Sheffield style customs that are very sexyllent! Can't wait to see what he has for me!
Number 3 will be by a maker that has been making some very high end razors, and some of you have those razors. Cedric Christ
(Ali's blade.) When I first saw one of his blades, which I believe was from one of Richards (Evnpar), SOTD posts I was awestruck with how beautiful the blade was. After seeing more of his work, I had to have one. So today I just got an email from Cedric, saying he will be making me a hand welded Damascus Kamisori in 2-3 months time. AAAAHHHHHH! Can't wait!
No pics yet but I'll be reporting back here with some razor porn when I get pics.
Had to blab about this guys. My wife can't share in the excitement I have so I thought maybe you guys could.Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

Thanked: 2284A while back I did a reknot of an old handle and Jon offered to send me a free knot for it. When the package arrived, there wasn't 1 knot there was 3. It was very generous of him to send those knots. I've talked a lot with Jon recently and he really is a super guy.
Not to many Canadians making razors, It'll be a blade I cherish forever.Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

Dang! Cannot keep a secret till you get them? If I was there, I would......nevermind.
So. Living in limbo and had to share the misery, eh?"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Damn sounds like some definite treats are coming your way in the not to distant future.
Great choices of builders too.
I'm excited to see the results of Not 1 but 3 of the same same but different Kamisoris from some very talented makers indeed.
Look forward to seeing the results.
Saved,
