Any one knows where this come from?
Hi folks
I received this kamisori/straight razor (hollow blade). Owner wants to get it shave ready. But I'm septic if it can be done as a real razor.

Looks like someone tried their hand at making a kamisori shaped object.
Depending on the grind and the steel you may or may not be able to whip that into a real shaver. The picture doesn't tell enough for me to give any real opinion.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

You are right to be skeptical.
Looking at the blade and the handle, no matter whether you are able to put a usable edge on this razor-shaped object, I suspect that purely from an ergonomic perspective it will prove remarkably unsuitable to shave around the tight radii of jaw and chin.

How would it be any different from any 8/8 to 10/8 razor? Originally Posted by beluga

I am not aware of many classic Japanese Kamisori razors in the 8/8 to 10/8 bracket. Originally Posted by Utopian

With this - in relation to the blade - puny handle that lacks the typical bamboo (or any other) material of the classic Kamisori to improve grip I expect that it will be ergonomically demanding to use.

I corrected the bevel. 20 minutes of dmt and not its bevel gone away. There is just some Mark as a bevel on the spine but I will leave it there. Originally Posted by sharptonn

To me, that means he ground it flat.
that would be a lot of wasted steel. Hoping im wrong.
It's just Sharpening, right?
