Thread: stropping a kamisori

Because of my hair growth pattern, it’s almost impossible to only use one side of the kamisori. I would be curious to know if any left handed kamisori were ever made….

Yes there are some, check out https://www.aframestokyo.com/razors.html they had some in the past

Yea, I've seen a few in the past.

You have to know being left handed in Japan was a stigma and not a good one and left handed children were forced to use their right hands for just about everything. That has changed more recently but you won't find too many left handed razors for this reason.
