Thread: Something a little different

I recently stumbled across this Kamisori/Western straight razor. The maker is Lecha out of Croatia. Its a nice shaver, I was a little reluctant at first sight. But something about it made me want to try it. I was assured it would be a great shaver, guaranteed. It really turned out to be a very nice shaving razor .The only way it can be stropped is with a bench strop. Which is really no big deal.
Has anyone else tried one of these? I would love to hear another opinion.

Curious..why can it only be stropped with a bench strop?

I've never tried one. But he is a member here, and several people own his creations. If you use the search function up there in the right hand corner, you'll find a few pages worth of threads with the word Lezcha in them.

The blade is actually just under 2 inches and with the extreme smile on the blade it wants to dig into my hanging strop, with the bench stop I don't have this issue. Also when stropping I do prefer too apply some pressure. I could lighten up my technique. But IMO I achieve better results with the bench strop and without any damage
