I shaved with the Kanenaga Kamisori again this weekend. After stropping the kamisori 50 laps on a steer hide strop, I just used some soap to wash my face, a hot rag to soften up 3 days worth of beard, and some Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood shave soap. I did two passes: WTG, and slightly XTG. No cuts, no nicks, great shave. I could feel some stubble if I rubbed my face against the grain, but the beard looked cleanly shaven. My skin stretching has vastly improved, adding to the success of this shave.

I am a fan of this reasonably priced kamisori. Get one if you can.

Cheers,

Jack
