That should go to your email I guess. Maybe a post in "Site Help" as I don't know what to suggest.
I have mine set to "Through my control panel only" as I'm on everyday anyway but I still get notification of pm's via email.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”

is there a good way to determine the price for kamisoris ? or just watch and see what they are going for?
For what its worth the modern ones seem to be 3 -4 times more than the vintage ones is there a reason , or that's just how the market currently is?"If you want it, that's what you do best" - Woz

I assume this is not an authentic method to wrapping a kamisori

I haven't seen a wrap that didn't have rust under it but to each his own.

Thanked: 13234^^^^^ This
I have seen way to many pics of proud new Kamisori users showing their latest E-baby that is honed into the soft iron or without any hollows left on either sides..
I think this is the part that is missed by so many
Kamisori or more accurately Wa-kamisori are Hollow ground on both sides,
Did you know you can tell if they have been "Re-Ground" or "Re-Hollowed" simple by looking at the metal
There is so much more to these simple tools
Best advice I give to all who ask
Buy a NOS or New Production that way you create your own mistakes"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"

This is a person playing with a grinder that shouldn't be playing with a grinder
They created something other than a Wa-Kamisori
I would try and return it and get a refund myself, but it is pictured and it shows the issues and the reginding
See if you can't work out a deal with the seller
I have no problem looking at pic by PM before you buy, I am not actively buying razors so I will NOT snake a good deal from ya
This is a pic of the unstamped side of a Wa-Kamisori with a proper grind
