Kamisori Razor :)

[Leethal Cutlery]

Looks great, I too thought that it looked more like a western style razor grind from the last picture... but the rest of the pictures made it look correct to me (maybe I'm just crazy ).

I can see the grind on the last picture if I look very closely.

now then, the box...the few kamisori boxes like yours that I have seen have a stand built inside them, so that the edge does not touch any of the walls inside the box. Is there enough room inside the box to manage doing that?

with that said, I have been wanting to try a Kamisoroi and a Kamisori with a western grind, as I am curious how the differences are when shaving. Oh, and I love how the hemp wrap looks.

Thanks! I love hemp too. To be honest I have several kamisori and a half a dozen western razors and as long as they are honed properly I can't tell a difference. I have an ozuku asagi stone that I finish my razors on and it makes both types butter smooth. Maybe others can tell a difference but I can't. I just like the variety.

Yes, I owned one that had a rubber handle, somewhat ugly but very functional. I think a finer thread and possibly a tsuka-maki style wrap would be very nice on such a pretty razor.

That's a pretty good idea. Might have to do something like that on the next one

Here is another one I did a while back.
