Hi

I have not been able to resist the Call of the Kamisori. I have purchased this used one seen here.

Can anyone tell me something about it? I have at least the following questions I am wondering about:


Q Do the letters mean something to anyone? Is there a name or place of manufacture?

Q Is this vintage? If yes, is this like 20 years old or 80?

Q What is this yellow/waxy looking handle substance? I have seen numerous of the same type in photos but am not sure of the material. Should I be removing this to check for pitting/damage under the handle and then what....

Q Is this Japanese steel or Swedish or?????

Q How much hone wear is this? It looks minimal to moderate, but I really am unfamiliar with these.

Q The toe/corner looks rounded out a little. Is this the case or is the toe looking correct?



Any info would be much appreciated. It should be here soon and I am really looking forward to checking it out and seeing if I can get in shave ready. I am a sucker for informative details though and need to understand more about this razor.

Thnx for anything at all!
