    Default Finding a kamisori

    I would like to try a kamisori but find the $300 average price for the highly rated makes overwhelming. Does anyone have advice on how to try a good quality razor without going overboard?

    I would just keep your eyes peeled for a deal... I think everyone goes an a kamisori binge once in a while.. But, they are an aquired taste so I wouldn't spend too much on the first one... Ionly use mine every so often.. And out of all three I like the oldest one the best.. I got it off a guy named "Dom" on ebay... He is on this site also.

    Thanks. Maybe six nipples and can dicker or I'll find something in classified. I am already struggling with acquisition disorder and want to be careful not to open another vein to it. Fat chance, eh?

    The Hart is one of those frankenrazors. Not a kamisori and not a Western razor. There are many out there like that.

    I'm not sure what that means. But I have never used a traditional/Japanese kamisori so I don't have anything to compare it to. I like it enough, but my collection of western-grind one-piece razors has now grown to 11, so I just don't use the Hart.

    it just means since the OP said he wanted to try a kamisori the hart is not a kamisori.

    I agree. There is a nice guy named Telly, his nick on B&B is TstebinsB, I think he's on this forum also?! He hooked me up with my kamisori and I can highly recommend him. I think he's well known on both forums and I hope he won't mind that I mentioned him by name.
