Choose your razor from the numbered examples shown.
We were lucky to get our hands on these rare NOS Japanese Kamisori made by Tosuke Inoue. They have each had a light cleaning to remove any surface dirt, were fully honed to a very fine shave ready edge, and waxed with Renaissance Wax. They look spectacular and were very finely made.
Each razor has its original rubber grip.
