That's so interesting [MENTION=110116]Lord Fatboy[/MENTION]
And why are you wrapping wooden swords Robin?
I heard that there was a period in Japan when sword making was illegal and the blade smiths turned to making kamisori, and that a lot of amazing razors date from this period.
This morning's shave was the Henkotsu Hinoshita Kaizan "Undisputed Champion"
This razor requires a much steeper angle than my other blades and I guess this is due to the Omote/Ura geometry.
It's also very smooth and stealthy, feeling like a full wedge.
I wondered if it was cutting at all until I saw all the stubble in the lather on the razor cloth and then felt the excellent result on my face.
This is a really smart comfortable shaver.
