    Finally go around to putting a wrap on the kami. Feels much better in the hand now. Name:  20190405_140741.jpg

    Kami looks good. I dont have any so i know nothing.

    Sharpie for grid lapping, Marty? Ive only used pencil. But a sharpie would stay much longer. Not a bad idea as long as it doesnt penetrate too much.

    Beautiful razor! The wrap was much easier to do than I thought it would be. Maybe one day I'll take the time to figure out and practice doing some of the more traditional and fancy wraps.

    If you just want the simple type of wrap I did on the kami, send it my way. I'd be more than happy to do it.

    About like a regular 11/16 razor with a loooong swoopy tang and no pin-hole!
    No name on it, but the FA Koch box is obviously original.
    Even has a tail like a regular blade. Highly polished and slippery as can be.
    Might be a surgical razor.

    I may give the wrap a go myself. Likely would not be worth the postage to send and receive having Theseus do it.

    Heck, If I screw it up, I can just unwrap and try again!
