Thread: Any Pointers for First Kamisori Purchase?

So looking on eBay I am seeing several kamis labeled as NOS henkotsu. How can I identify these as legit and not knock offs? Other than my feather SS I am a total newb to kamis. Other question is , is there somewhere other than the bay to find NOS legit kamis?

Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to wait about purchasing a Kamisori for now and either buy one from a member or maybe get some guidance from the mentors here when I'm ready to invest a little more money. I don't really have the time or resources for serious restoration projects so I don't want another blade in the "some day" box. I wasted money by not getting a shave ready razor to start out with a few years ago so I'm going to try and not make the same mistakes this time around!

Also check with SRD and see if they have Iwasaki Kamisori in stock


Also I am more then happy to look at listing you might find on ebay and help guide you

I am NOT actively buying razors so no I won't snake your purchase
