Japanese(ish) Kamisori Razor

[Shelby Mihalevich]

I had an order for a kamisori for a Christmas present.
Forged from W2. Gave it a light texture and blued it.
One side is hollow ground on a 5" wheel and the other with a 72" radius platen.

I didn't make the box, but I burned it and smoothed it out with steel wool.
I lined it with some filler stuff I found at Michael's. Thought it looked nice.
The razor 'hovers' in the box on top of a piece of dowel rod with a magnet inside topped with some felt.

Thanks for looking.

Shelby

Very cool. I love shaving with my straight

Nice indeed, and the floating on straw trick is very neat as it underlines the feature "light as a feather"

 

[Thika]

That is very nice indeed, is it for sale?
