Tomorrow, back to the Kamisori. I'm going to sell all of my western style razors except 2 sentimental ones. I favor the Kamisori that much now.

That is weird, awesome, and...........weird! The first thing I thought of was that restaurant where everybody eats in pitch black darkness.

Was this weather related or boredom related?

Hey Dallas -

Here you go:

Pic 'borrowed' from ww.theshavingroom.co.uk

Oh - you mean the Dorko....?


This is a photo inherited from whomever sold it to me (someone either here or across the hall, but I forgot who....my apologies - perhaps you?). I finally got this thing dialed in just right for me and it is now shaving as good or perhaps better than anything else I own. I say that today...another razor will likely ''dethrone it' tomorrow.
