I wrapped them, using a normal white, probably polyester, chord. I think it does look good and gives the knifes a better grip, if they wet during the shave (what they shouldn´t).
I will not open a...

I already got one japanese razor (called Harima Fuji), but I don´t see any chance to shave with and across the grain all spots in my face with just one side of a japanese razor, I always had to use...

I think I will be the lucky one, who will shave first with the size 2 Kanetake. The pair (the left and the right) should be on their way to me. If oldschool confirms, the pictures on his site are my...
