Ok. Kamisoris. I’m a amused by the idea of using a traditional kamisori (a razor format designed for a barber shaving a customer using only their dominant hand) to shave myself. Using one reminds me of reading SOTDs in the early days of #DaysOfWeckoning.
Sure, you can shave with a kami, you can even use only one side, like a barber would, but it’s not easy compared to a symmetric open blade. And all things considered, this shave went well. There was a minor neck stabbing and the styptic pen made an appearance, but I did get a reasonably close shave without irritation (other than that neck stabbing site). I have to improve my control of that thin handle, maybe wrap it in some paracord.
