I've been wanting to try a kamisori for a while. I managed to get this for a very nice price on the bay. Can't wait to shave with it!

I have a few but the only one I’ve actually used is the one I got from Tom. The other two need to be hone, I suppose I should get to them some day. I like the shave, it is also my go to when I shave the engineers head at work.
ENJOY!
They are so simply elegant, careful as they are also quite addictive :p
I recently started using them and now own two. They are nice shavers. Just learn the angles. A picture of the other side would be nice if you get to it. Thats where it shows the most wear.
Dig it Joel.
Here you go:Quote:

how do you guys store these things? It's not as easy as a folding SR.
This thing is kind of fun.

I shaved with it this morning. It's not exactly the same but also wicked sharp. I too have still not figured out how to store it. I've been just wrapping it loosely in a paper towel. I think it was jerry who made a cover for one. It's in the what are you working on thread. Was that you Jerry or am I thinking of someone else?
I use a drawer as with all my razors. Just got to be careful. I thought about making a box to hole them. You can find lots of examples on line.
I've never used one, but asymmetrical angles aside, I think of them the same way that I think of knives. Fixed blades are arguably better, but folders are just way more practical. Personally, I always close the razor to set it down. I suppose one could just set the kamisori on the counter or a washcloth, but it would feel weird to me.
Of course, none of my kitchen knives are folders, so there is that.
I’m thinking I need some kind of sheath for it. At the moment I’m just using some cardboard, but I’ll keep my eyes open for something nicer.
Look at What are you working on thread starting at post #16944Quote:

That's a great idea. I might try making one of those out of that ancient southern live oak
