Type: Traditional Japanese Kamisori Straight Razor
Handle Custom: Wrapped with micro paracord for improved grip and a unique appearance.
Condition: Vintage / Pre-owned
【Condition & Sharpening】
This razor has been carefully hand-honed to bring out its shaving performance.
Sharpening Process: Finished on the renowned Shapton Kuromaku #12000 Japanese ceramic whetstone for a highly refined edge.

Shave Ready / HHT Tested: The razor successfully passes the Hanging Hair Test (HHT). Please watch the attached video to see the actual sharpness and cutting performance.
【Please Note - To Avoid Trouble】
Subjectivity of \"Shave Ready\": Although this razor performs very well in the Hanging Hair Test, the definition of \"Shave Ready\" can vary depending on beard thickness, shaving technique, and skin sensitivity. Please use the video as a reference for the actual edge performance.
Rust Protection: As with traditional carbon-steel Japanese razors, proper care is required to prevent rust. 100% pure Camellia Oil (Tsubaki Oil) has been applied to the blade for protection during storage and shipping. Please wipe off the oil carefully before use.
Vintage Nature: This is a vintage item and may show age-related stains, patina, scratches, discoloration, or other signs of previous use. Please carefully examine all photos before purchasing.
Custom Grip: The micro paracord handle wrap is a custom modification and is not an original factory razor will be packed securely and carefully to prevent damage during transit.
