    I was recently forced by the Lather Games Rules Committee to acquire a kamisori.

    Question for the samurai among you: how do you store your kamisori to protect its edge?

        If you insist on making one single person the symbol of the committee, it would be a more spongiform fellow than I 😉

      This is how a real Samurai stores his kamisori. In my case, being of low extraction, I simply remove the blade from my Feather kamisori shavette, and store the razor away.

      And I commiserate that - despite your heroic resistance - you ended up having no choice but to acquire another razor.

        Thank you for acknowledging my heroism!

      Maybe one of those edge protectors like a chef might use?
