Sorry boys, this is as close to a Kamisori as I've got (yet, Ill have one one day). I neglect this razor a little, it has its own box and so does not sit in the display case with all the rest and I sometimes forget to use it.
I really enjoyed tonights shave, I love the feel of this razor in the hand, and it delivered a great smooth fresh shave.

I'm loving all the great posts this work guys, keep up the good work

Sadly, as I take a moment to reflect on the tragedy that has struck Japan. I have a silent shave. The only Japanese steel I own are feathers. Two gentle passes, WTG and ATG yielded a remarkable BBS shave.

Gentlemen, as always wonderful pictures. And your Japanese Razors are inspiring.

My thoughts & Prayers continue to be with the people of Japan (Especially each of your with friends & Loved ones there).

The Razor

The Razor's home (the “Table” has rare earth magnets underneath the red leather to keep the razor held securely in place. The image in the background is from Steve Higgs

Result: Today is my first ever Kamisori shave. I've been wanting a Kamisori for quite some time and seeing this theme coming provided the perfect excuse to get one. I was amazed how easy this things was to shave with (I had actually had a new-b fear about this shave). I did 2 passes and I'm quite smooth (I'd call it a DFS). There are a few angles I need to figure out, but for the most part, a very easy and enjoyable shave

Have a great Wednesday gentlemen!

In kind of a hurry today so I went with a safety razor

Such a lot of excellent equipment. It would be nice we had a "Thanks"-button again!

I believe we are all praying for everyone in Japan. Hope eveything gets resolved soon.
