1. pjgh
2. UKRob
3. BraveBlades
4. pugh-the-special-one
5. Mylo
6. jaycey - I don't think you put your name down but I'm hoping you will do a shave video
Here is the item in question. I've left the heat treatment scale on as a nod to it's Japanese cousin.
I will need full contact details by PM and you must be happy to send the razor on to the next person by special delivery. This will cost about £7. If we could limit each person to one week it will avoid this dragging on forever.
I will make sure the razor has a great edge on it when it goes out and if I could get maybe Jamie and Rob to touch up the edge when they get it we should be able to make sure everyone sees it at it's best
Could you please either reply to this thread or PM to let me know if you are up for it?

That's fine by me Mike - I'll touch it up if necessary and let Paul have my address when he's ready to send it on.

Don't know about you Steve, but I can't tell the difference between the sides of a true Kamisori - I use them just as I do a western straight.
Spartacus said:No true enough - i do wonder why in fact they are done like that - but it was just an observation. Wouldn't mind test driving it myself.
jaycey said:Of course I'm in...I will choose a suitable backing track for the video
Cheers Mike, look forward to it.
Mylo said:Looking forward to it Mike. If it's anything like the knife you made me it will be an excellent shaver.
