Thread: Kansas Kamisori!

Wow.

Back in June I had communicated with Russel Baldridge about a new design take on the Japanese style straight razor that he had already begun creating.

I got all excited and sent him some SolidWorks files I made of my proposed design:


Well, today it finally arrived!

Looks much like the design rendering, with one HUGE exception----the hamon!

The finish on the razor is satin, except for the blade hollow where the hamon line is. This portion is mirror finished, and stunning!

Razor has a nice heft to it, feels great to hold.

I have not yet shaved with it (as luck would have it I just had a fantastic BBS shave this morning with one of my other razors, so the maiden voyage will have to wait a couple of days...).

My compliments to Russel on his fine workmanship I'm looking forward to my first shave!

Some pics, including a comparrison shot with a Tosuke.
