Thread: Was my blind purchase worthwhile? Kamisori

Yep, Inoue Tosuke, great razor. Will take a lovely edge.
I will start at 10:1 then 7:1, 3:1, 1:1 respectively as I go up in grit size.

Tosuke are a good razor so you should have no problem with it. My preferred kamisori honing ratio is 2:1. That seems to work well for me.

Yeah that's pretty much how I hone them, however, that ones never been honed. You may need to do a little extra on the ura to set it.
