NOS Henkotsu Kamisori
2nd shave with the kamisori. Not usually an SR shave-day due to work but just unable to ignore the urge so woke up earlier to do this shave. Wow...no regrets! This kamisori handle & edge is so easy, smooth & comfortable in 3passes I was able to improve the results significantly from the 1st use to between bbs to dfs without any issues. The trick is in the angle...thoroughly enjoyed the session!

I'm enjoying this Kamisori razor even more. The edge feels really mild, smooth, and very comfortable but yet efficient. Very maneuverable and forgiving for a new straight razor. So far no blood has been spilled despite some mistakes. 3+1passess for a dfs finish.

Razor Friedr Herder Abr. Sohn 77
Shave with the razor was very nice...great contrast to hear and feel the thin hollow edge after a few sessions with a wedge. The razor was keen yet smooth and very comfortable. 3passes for a dfs result.

One of my favorites straights! I own one in very similar condition to yours. It was one of my antique store finds and still one of my favorites! Nice shave!

Do I remember seeing you had posted yours very recently? I thought someone did and I said to myself I just acquired one of those!

Thanks for posting again. I’m glad my memory serves me correctly! They really are magnificent specimens.
