Iwasaki kamisori Swedish Steel (NOS)

Iwasaki is one of the most appreciated among collectors and traditional shaving enthusiasts for the quality of its steel hardening and workmanship. The razor was made in the Showa period, around the 1950s. It has a length of 15 cm, a cutting edge length of 4,6 cm and a weight of 36 g. It is a medium-sized, light-weight kamisori.

Similar to a traditional samurai sword, this Kamisori has been hand forged from 2 layers, the cutting part is made of high carbon steel and the support is a simpler stainless steel. The middle layer is hard for long-lasting sharpness and a pleasant shave, while the support layer provides the necessary flexibility.

Both layers are good at resisting corrosion, but no steel is completely rust-free, so always keep your razor dry and protect it with a thin layer of oil after shaving.
