Sounds like fun. Now if I could get a work permit I'd be back on the west coast faster than....

When I think about it, the Omote side only shaving is only possible if someone else is shaving you...and that's probably what the Kamisori was meant for (but, I am not sure).

In fact, I cannot keep shaving with just the Omote side without breaking one of "the rules" of shaving...WTG, then XTG, and finally ATG (or some variation). So, unless I go WTG, XTG and ATG all in one pass in different areas of my face, I cannot do this. I use both sides of the blade and still keep to the WTG, XTG and ATG rule that I have come to cherish so much

Thank you Robert! Nice to see you back on the track again! That´s what I meant, the Ura, not Ohra. Showes how much I know about these things. I´m very happy I took the "step" though, feels very rewarding and seems to give good shaves.

blugil nice razor i look forward to sotd's just to check out your razor collection !

I recieved a wonderful gift from Bill,a congratulations girft for my new found freedom. A Cyril r. Salter French Vetiver. With new cream or soap i always Uber it just in case it is lacking. I grabed Tabac,thought i was grabing L'occtane. Well when it came time to lather up the Salter. WOW! I could really see a thick, creamy quality lather. I had 3-4 days of growth so my razor had a challenge before her. This uber cream was wonderful. I will use it alone next time.
