Iwasaki Kamisori Razor
Iwasaki's Japanese-style kamisori razor is probably the best shaving razor in the world. This is what many world connoisseurs of traditional shaving will tell you.
The Iwasaki forge is located in the northern part of Japan in the city of Sanyo. The best quality razors have been produced here for generations. The secrets of the craft are passed down from generation to generation, and each new generation of blacksmiths gradually contributes to making this product as perfect as possible. The famous blacksmith Shigeyoshi Iwasaki is currently retired, and his apprentice Ryouichi Mizuochi has taken over the business.
The razor that comes out of this forge goes through over 100 stages of production where every piece is carefully taken care of for perfection. A piece of Swedish steel with 0% impurities is hand riveted to a softer steel and goes through extremely precisely defined processes to end up with a blade of almost unreal performance. It is this steel that represents the final edge of the razor.
Materials: Swedish Sandvik steel, mild steel, rattan, paulownia
Dimensions: 164x4x22mm / Blade length: 50mm
Weight: 45g
Each razor made by Master Mizuochi receives a hand-sharpening treatment on natural stones quarried in the Kyoto region. At the end, the handle is wrapped in rattan and the ready razor comes to you. Also, this product includes exclusive packaging in a box made of paulownia wood.
If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.

Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
