Kamisori steels and various values

Awesome. Yes I’ve seen this. I like this guys stuff a lot. I’ve gotten one good edge and it worked well on my neck amd
Not so well on my face. It left a bunch of cuts there was skipping. I realized I was using too much pressure shaving and my angle wasn’t great. However I was impressed with how well it did above the lips. Above the lips it gave the closest shave I’ve ever had. Now I think it’s because my technique was better above the lips and it’s also because the angle is virtually perfect with kamisori by chance. Anyway I’ll have to watch this again. I got a 12k nagura and I’m still waiting on my gouken naniwa 12k. Thanks for your help I’ll keep you posted. Thanks bro!

That topic might be better suited for the honing section.

Post of the day! Kamisori honing is more jazz solo than classical concerto. As far as ratios, it’s not as simple as choosing a ratio and getting at it. I tend to, and have observed old-school Japanese cats start with higher ratios and end up at something like 3:1 to finish or simply abandon ratios altogether after tenyjou. Honing by numbers on Kamisori doesn’t work in most cases and when it does the results are rather limited.
