Thread: Iwasaki Kamisori shave Video

Thanks for the video.

From the video and I don't know if it's a video effect but it looks like you use a very high angle through most of your shave.

Also, you know that little flat area on the convex side of the blade rear of the blade? That's a finger rest to help stabilize the razor as you shave.

I get a more comfortable shave with a steeper angle on my iwasaki. Not sute why. I wasnt aware of the finger rest thank you.

did not notice any whisker swarf.

that would be it

you know every good shave vid either starts with a bearded face or closes with a shot of the dirty towel

Well, I know which razor I'm shaving with tonite.
I love my Iwasaki too.
Thanx for the vid

Good video and thanks for posting it - seems those ink spots on your neck did not come off with the shave ?

Do you prefer the fixed blade Japanese straights to the common folders ?

Because it's a short blade that maneuver is very simple. Much more so than with a western. I just hold the razor in the normal manner and stretch the skin and just shave in quick very short strokes.
