This is an authentic vintage Japanese straight razor, known as a Kamisori, made by Henkotsu. Henkotsu razors are appreciated by Japanese razor enthusiasts for their traditional craftsmanship, practical shaving performance, and classic forged blade character.

This razor has been carefully restored, hand-honed, and finished for shaving use. It is a great piece for wet shaving collectors, traditional straight razor users, barbers, and anyone looking for a genuine Japanese Kamisori with a custom grip.

【Condition & Sharpening】
This razor has been meticulously hand-honed to bring out its shaving potential.

• Sharpening Process: Finished using professional Japanese waterstones, progressing up to the Shapton Kuromaku #12000 ceramic stone for a fine polished edge.
• Finishing: Carefully stropped using a premium DOVO leather strop.
• Shave Ready: The razor smoothly passes the Hanging Hair Test (HHT). The blade catches and cuts hair cleanly. Please check the attached video for the actual sharpness and performance.

【Custom Grip】
The handle has been customized with micro paracord wrapping. This improves grip, helps prevent slipping during use, and gives the razor a clean Japanese-style appearance while keeping the traditional Kamisori feel.

【Please Note】
• Subjectivity of "Shave Ready": Although this razor performs well in the hair test, the meaning of shave ready can vary depending on beard thickness, shaving technique, and skin sensitivity. Please judge the edge condition based on the video and photos.
• Carbon Steel Care: This is a carbon steel razor, so it can rust if left wet. I have applied 100% pure Camellia Oil / Tsubaki Oil to help protect the blade during shipping. Please wipe it off carefully before first use.
• Vintage Item: This is a vintage razor, so there may be age-related stains, scratches, patina, or signs of previous use. Please check all photos carefully before purchasing.

【Shipping】
The razor will be packed securely with great care to prevent damage during transit.
