Thread: The Strange Case of Lt. Toshiro Kawasaki

Those of you who have been here for a time will remember the stories surrounding Lt. Kawasaki and his razor. I have some exciting news for everybody but first allow me to rehash the story for the newcomers.

Lt. Kawasaki was a pilot during WWll for the Japanese Navy and one day during the war he and his squadron departed Tokyo to find the American Fleet to destroy those yankee devils. They were a kamikaze unit by the way.

As he was enroute to his target the young Lt.’s mind wandered how his family would be greeted by the Emperor and awarded the nation’s highest honors and General Tojo himself would honor his memory. Unfortunately he never heard his squadron leader order a course change and he was totally by himself and lost in the clouds and with radio silence he couldn’t contact them.

So he descended to see where he was and as if sent by a divine wind there it was, the entire American Fleet. Funny they weren’t firing at him. After he finished his attack he had destroyed several destroyers and sunk a carrier and badly damaged two battleships. One last act, to crash into the carrier flagship. Yes right on target the American Fleet destroyed and he would be remembered and honored forever…….-NOT.

Our young aviator had imbibed too much sake and was intoxicated and had in fact found the Japanese Fleet which he destroyed and was personally responsible for Japan losing the war.

His father could not take the disgrace and committed Hari Kiri by falling on his kamisori which was the one the aviator last used before his departure. His mother cursed him blaming him for causing the once proud Japanese people to produce cheap export products and bad monster movies. He would never find peace until he recovered his razor and did some acts of contrition.

Strange, when they removed the razor from his father it had changed into a Western Style grind. That razor was studied by the best for years to determine what happened to it and how those strange marks got there. Also it seemed to have incorporated the old man’s blood into its structure. They say the wrappings on the blade contain unknown DNA and were made from some creature.

The razor then vanished and reports have come in from all over the world concerning a ghostly apparition being seen wherever the razor was reported to be.

So here is the deal, my friend in Japan sent me this Kamisori with Western Grind and he says it’s THE ONE.

So after honing it and getting it shave ready I’m not keeping it around here. So I’m offering a razor pass around.

If you think you are a brave and pious person who says his prayers every night and isn’t worried about curses and ghosts and dying a horrible death then you are invited to try your hand with this ultimate Frankenrazor. By the way I have named it Admiral Yamamoto as witness say the Capt. of the Yamamoto was seen angrily shaking his fists at the aircraft as it approached and cut him in half.

Here are the conditions:

Just PM me with your name, address, telephone, email and say you agree to indemnify me from any injury occurring to you or anyone who gets their hands on the razor while you have it.
This is open to folks in the U.S and Canada. You will be responsible to mail the razor to the next person on the list and it must have tracking ability with signature confirmation. If it’s lost in transit and you don’t do this you are responsible for its replacement. You may keep the razor for two weeks before passing it on.

While you have it you may strop on leather and linen. Anything more contact me

So, let’s get going. The Admiral is itching for a fight. Are YOU ready?

Hell of a story yo have here! I'm not scare and I would take it, but I only have 86 posts. Good luck to the chosen one.

I`m in. I guess some of my razor if they could talk they would say things which you would like not to hear:-) Let`s say... I`m the razor which "caused" dead of Italian mob in 1921:-)

Nice story!

I'd be in. I'd love to try a Kamisori. Plus I think it's bad luck to be superstitious

I've been here too long to not have 100 posts, but I don't. Guess I need to come up with more to say!

I call a bs flag on the story...

I just thought I'd post a couple photos to whet your appetite.

Proverbs 26:2
Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.

I'll be in. Never tried a Kami before, even if it is a western grind. If need be I can go to the local Roman Catholic Church, take some Holy water and exorcise it....

Can I sign up to be number 2? I've always wanted to try a kamisori but have never had the opportunity.

Pm is sent. Thanks!
