It's prolly becoming no secret that I practically am in love with Japanese culture and other things, the love story started when I was in high school and well nowa day's is STILL just as strong except I've had some dreams come true. No I don't live in Japan even being fluent in the language I just can't cut it financially but have been there many times to visit when I was more affluent, I am married to a lovely Japanese woman that I met while on a visit to Japan and have learned the language among many other things.
And now onto my blasted point, no one wants to read about my old history here in a shaving forum so with out further hesitation.
I discovered Kamisori straights, I do not own one currently as they are expensive to my blood for the moment. Also I have been a big fan of Feather brand among others, and also discovered their shavettes in both folding and kamisori non folding styles. My question is on Kamisori SR's how are they? How do they shave and could some one new to SR shaving learn on one, what are the big differences from traditional SR's, is stropping different or general care and honing? How do they compare to shavettes aside shavettes use disposable blades.
I of course formed a desire toward Kamisori as they are traditional Japanese shavers who knows how far back they date design wise, they look ancient and historical and I'll do more reading on them and the history but want to get a modern shavers opinion and details on use and care and all of that.
Also same goes with shavettes as I don't think outside a Kamisori I would too much care for all the maintenance of scales and all of that a traditional SR's requires, then again I will likely get a Boker or a Dovo in the future as well once I get into SR shaving currently i am a DE man using Murkur and ED89.
Also a good place to get excellent Kamisori would be nice as well, I've no clue where I could get one when the time comes.
