First use of the Daishi, this morning....indeed, first use of any Kamisori. She's still waiting to go to Jamie for honing but I decided to give her first use on only the factory edge. What a surprise! Very smooth and sharp as she already is, however, I believe Jamie can add further to the enjoyable experience this razor is definitely going to bring to me.
