Description

This sought after Kamisori (Japanese razor) is the mid-sized Ichogake from the Iwasaki workshop in Sanjyo, Niigata, the centre of the steel industry in Japan. The “Sanjyo Seisakujo” was established by Mr Shegeyoschi Iwasaki and his father Kousuke Iwasaki after the Second World War. Production has since been handed over to Mr Mizuochi  who continues the tradition started by Mr Iwasaki’s father.  His razors are highly sought after and are rather difficult to come by.  We have just waited almost two years for this stock and we don’t have many so buy them while you can. Made from Swedish Sandvik steel laminated to a softer jigane low carbon steel. Razor comes in a wooden box (Paulownia wood) as shown.

Also available with a rattan wrap to the handle at additional cost.

The blade length is 50mm and the overall length is approx 165mm.

This is a fascinating video showing the manufacturing process:

SHAVE READY – all our razors  are individually prepared and supplied shave ready. However in reality, given the condition in which they come from the workshop I rarely need to touch them. For full details see our policy.

Iwasaki Kamisori

The Iwasaki workshop is in Sanjyo, Niigata which is the traditional centre for steel in Japan. Originally established after the War by Mr Shegeyoschi Iwasaki and his father Kousuke Iwasaki. Production has now been handed over to Mr Mizuochi who continues in the same tradition to produce the highly rated Iwasaki razor. This Japanese razor is produced in very limited quantities and hence is much sought after.
