First Iwasaki!

[mikeadams]

BWAHAHAHA! The power of the Iwasaki is mine to command! There will be violence! There will be pain! There will be bloodshed! The strong will gaze upon it in awe while the weak & timid cower in fear!

All hail the Kamisori!

OK, so maybe I'm a little tooooo excited about finally getting my first, and most likely, only, Iwasaki.

I've been wanting one for a long time, and being your average working stiff didn't think I would actually ever get one, but just recently the opportunity presented itself, so despite a few objections from SWMBO I jumped on it. I mean really, do we have to buy groceries right now!?! We're talking about an Iwasaki here!

I do have another brand Kamisori, but it cost 1/3 as much and doesn't compare to the shave this baby just gave!

Sorry folks, just stoked and had to share.

Sweet! I love my Azuma. Maybe one day I'll pick up a second kamisori.

Hey Jon!

Thanks for remembering I wanted one and giving me the chance!

Swedish. There is no way I'll ever be able to afford a Tamagahane, but I can dream!

Alright, here are my two Kamisoris. The Iwasaki is on the one with the blue Tosuke handle. And no, there's nothing wrong with the blade, I just did a quick wipe off of the oil on it with tissue.

If anyone can read the kanji on the box on the left, I'd appreciate it!
