Looks great! To me putting the flater side down the way you did makes more sense. I keep my Kami (your "old" one) is a cardboard box with a few packing penuts wedged in there to hold it in place - not pretty!
I've always wondered about this, I've got a special place for it in my razor box where it just lays flat. I'm always afraid of banging the cutting edge on something.
Mine is still wrapped in its little bit of paper, in its original wooden box. I always intended to make it a stand. In fact I did...Hmmm
I have no idea where it is now.

Nice job. Would you change the hinge style or placement next time?
Nice Doc. If you need more "test samples" let me know 
Is that an Azuma Yasuki Steel?
Looks it to me. just my .02 (Doc can confirm of course)
If it is, I've got a twin! Got it NOS and honed it once, great little thing and my only remaining Kamisori.

No, I think the placement is OK, my execution is subpar
Sure send my way for proper disposalNice Doc. If you need more "test samples" let me know
It's on it's way to its owner, I do believe it is
Nice kamisori, tried it again. Just not for me.
Had one of those 'Zumas - sold it.
If I had that box - I mighta kept it.
Need something for the bathroom when in use. Not a wood box though.

If you lay the darned thing down stamped side up on the counter or similar the wedge keeps the edge off the surface. I use a small sheet of that non-skid drawer material, the one that looks like a bunch of small rubber balls stuck together, to lay my kamisori on mid shave.
Doc didn't like the special bubble wrap I used to send that kami to him for honing. Everyone knows about Doc's edges and scales; they are top notch. This was a great surprise. Thank you Alfredo.
Brooksie, yes, separated at birth?

Perhaps yes lol! Mine gets VERY limited use but it's so easy to touch up and always gives a nice shave!

I made a nest so speak for mine and I too cut it backwards my first attempt.
Otherwise you did a fine job Alfredo.Mine doesn't get that much use either. Now the little blood sucker has a very nice kami coffin to rest in.
