    Default My newest acquisitions

    Here are a few razors I received in the mail the other day, top to bottom in first pic is an F. Westphal, Boker, and a Joseph Allen & Sons Non XLL, 2nd pic is the Japanese Kamisori I received and wrapped the handle in camo paracord, and 3rd pic is a W.H. Morley & Sons Clover Brand razor, no I didn't make the scales, it came that way. Is there anyone on here that could help me with figuring out what Kamisori I have, maker etc?Name: Mail call.jpg Views: 167 Size: 40.7 KBName: 10937726_10202409654123218_618532516_n.jpg Views: 155 Size: 46.9 KBName: 10952326_10202408997106793_1688906757_n.jpg Views: 153 Size: 69.0 KB

    It will help if you can get a close up of the markings on the kamisori. There are some gents here that can read them. I'm not one of them.

    Interesting scales on the Morley, I wonder if they started life as a paint stirrer or perhaps an old ruler. I like it.

    i was thinking the same , or of some type of old crate ...

    i like the kamisori ! ive been looking at them for a while but even after all the searches and looking i have done i still hesitant of buying a used one for fear of getting something ( over honed , or in bad shape) that i dont know what im getting and dont want to drop the coin on a new "name brand " one .. i like the wrap you added and the blade itself ! hopefully you can find the info and enjoy the shaves after a good hone !

    I honed it Friday and shaved with it yesterday. It shaves great, very nimble little blade. Check eBay, I got this one for $20.
