    Are there any comments about the age of this particular razor?
    Before or after WWII?

    Ok... probably comes with instructions like soaking for some days before wrapping... like basket material.

    Looking forward to seeing your finished project.... already a beautiful thing.

    It arrived today from Japan.
    All instruction where in Japanese of course, so I had to figure out my self how to do it.
    I soak it in warm water for half an hour to make it flexible and then I started to wrap the handle.

    Lookin good,one thing you might try tho,google whip finish.
    Hard to explaine but lay a pce of doubled fishing line on the handle than wrap over it.
    Loop the end of the material thru the mono loop and pull it thru under the material.
    Makes for a nice finish.

    Thank you very much pixelfixed. My finish is a bit ugly I know.

    To be honest, I didn’t understand exactly what you describe as the finishing technique due to my English handicap, but I will read it again and again over a thousand times to get the meaning, and maybe I will fix it.

    If you mean the line that I indicate with the arrows, these are the Japanese letters.
    Check the second pic.

    My photos are very bad quality.

    As Above,is not a crack,believe it is called a homan (SP) present in most of my Kamisori.
    Slur,hard to explaine but when you start your wrap,say at the end of the handle,lay about an inch of material flat on the handle,start the wrap at the very end and wrap over the one inch piece,keep wrapping toward the blade,when you get about 1/2 inch from the blade end of the wrap,lay a piece of strong fine nylon twine or fishing line with a loop on the handle,wrap over that,put the end of your material thru the loop and pull the material thru and under the final wrappings,than cut off the excess,no knots.Hope it works for you.
