Thread: Oiling the Kamasori's .....

.
.
This is a part of the collection I purchased from Geezer.
I know nothing about Kamisori razors.
The Yasuki Steel razors appear in the best condition.

Everything I store, I wrap in VCI paper. It emits a coating in gas for that provides protection. So far it has not had any negative effects on any of my scales. I also have emitters in my safe, display case, and gun cabinets. It’s also available in shelf/drawer liner material for toolboxes and the like. It’s suppose to last for five years.

I bought a stack of vci paper. 6 x 6 pieces and was using it to wrap and mail razors. I figued it was an easy way to give some protection from whatever the post was going to put it thru.

I have two Kamisori razors. I enjoy using them. Hone one up and give it a try, Randy.

Everyone should have at least one kamisori in their shave den.

Yasuki steel kamisori are made with two types of steel:
Shirogami White Steel and Aogami Blue Steel. Your Yasuki steel with the flowers on the handle is a Zubora, if you can get a close up of the kanji on the other Yasuki steel kami I may be able to identify it for you.

Thanks for the offer.
So far I have tried 3 different camera apps on my cellphone but none would get that close. If I find one that does then I will post the pic here.

I use my phone for pics, then use the trim and crop option, for closer pics.



Trim and cropped.

Are kamasori's honed the same way as a straight razor? Don't have one of those things!

No. They're honed like a chisel or a plane blade as they are single bevelled.

To the uneducated person (me), that just doesn't sound too inviting. But again, I haven't a clue.

I guess it's a matter of perspective. Some might say it's easy as you mostly just hone one side
