This blade is shave-ready but to get the ultimate performance we recommend honing and stropping before first use and regularly afterward.

Kamisori holds its global reputation as the premier brand for quality barber & hairdressing tools in high regard and we stand by our Art of Shaving collection. That's why all of our classic straight razors come with optimum quality.

Note: Be careful when opening and closing your blade; do not rub the edge on the scales as the edge is extremely fine and delicate. After shaving with your blade always use a soft thin cloth or tissue paper between the scales of your blades to protect the edge. Always use hot water to rinse your blade after use and carefully wipe clean. Use mineral oil on the blade when storing for long periods. If you are unfamiliar with using and maintaining straight razors for shaving refer to YouTube for instructional videos.
