Thread: Japanese barber shaving with a kamisori

I think this video disproves the theory that kamisori are used only omote side to the face.

So many theories, so little hard facts!

Well, i swear, at the beginning of the vid, he had no facial hair to start with, very cool though.

Welcome to SRP.
Must have been a 2nd for $37. My first razor, a Gotta 120, cost $90 30 odd years ago.

Look at the towel he's wiping the lather on. See all that black stuff ?

Ok, so it looks like it was more like 13 years ago, but here's a capture of knifecenter.com's price list from 2000. Dovo "best value" razor for $36.95. It goes for around $80 now. Looks like I'll be buying old Bengalls off of ebay if I need a spare.

WOW!! He is moving that razor waaay to fast around that guys nose for my liking!! "Excuse me sir, I fancy smelling the lather, so please keep my nose intact!"
