Thread: Wisteria handle, on or off?

Yes for On, No for Off. (Sorry everyone for the inconvenience; mind was adrift and can't re-edit the poll)

That sirs and madams, is the question. I postponed my purchase on getting a kamisori to fork over a pretty bag of change for a solid navy blue 2 button suit, 3 dress shirts and received 2 ties as a gift. Now that I can focus spreading my money on getting one, which do you like better and most importantly, why?

Thanks in advance.

Oh man, I messed up the attached images and it's not in the post, but outside of it. Great.

you have pics? Also, I a poll would have helped you out greatly

Edit: Thanks for the input, Oak.

I prefer off so I can be sure everything's dry, but if it comes on I'd leave it to keep it original.

Like all things, rust can build up under the wrap from water, so I see your point in leaving it off.
If it does come with a wisteria wrap, I can remove it without too much of a hassle, correct?

No idea. I have only ever had one, an Iwasaki, and it came to me naked.

Like most straights,why would you even come close to getting the handle wet??

Things happen. Much easier to dry a pivot than wrapping.

I left mine on. I have one with out a wrap and I can definitely say I prefer the rap. It helps me grip more. As far as drying I wipe my lather off. I don't rinse. I would suggest keeping it on at first, if you don't like it turn it off.
