Day 3 with Japanese Razors: Evening shave with my new lefty kamisori….

 

That razor is the scariest shaving tool I've seen. Lol it looks like mini sword. Wow! Watch out for CHUCKY!

 

I've been waiting on this post, how was the shave?

 

I took my time (a leisurely-paced evening shave) as I'm not entirely accustomed to the angles of attack using the kami. It was nice holding the non-stamped 'omote' side (pictured below) against the face (as kamis were designed to be held in the right hand) rather than feel like I was doing it backwards (with a standard kami in my left hand).


The edge is extremely sharp. BUT the biggest threat are the points—particularly the heel point—where I did manage a nice little chin/cheek gouge.
But the shave is effortless. Two passes were I all I really needed to get near-BBS smooth, but added a third just for the practice.
It will take a number more shave for me to get fully accustomed to this razor. The intial shave was a quality one, however, despite the minor blood-letting.

 

Congratulations! It sounds like a fantastic shave

Good morning guys. Wonderful shave this morning with the N1, very smooth and zippy and fun. I love this razor so much. This particular injector looks very beautiful to me. It's very sleek and has nice simplistic lines. It's funny how something that "appears" so simple can be so thoughtfully made and effective. Stirling MITA brought the freeze this morning and the MITA balm iced the finish. Dolphin smooth. Have a great day and a great shave folks.
