⚠️ Important Information for High-Carbon Steel Users

Handmade Variations: Because each razor is completely hand-forged and hand-ground by a human craftsman, minor dimension tolerances, slight weight deviations, and subtle artisan tooling lineations are natural characteristics of this unique collectible.
Rust Prevention & Shaving Care: This premium razor is forged from pure high-carbon steel and is NOT stainless. It will oxidize or rust if left wet. Please rinse thoroughly with hot water after use, wipe completely dry, and apply a thin layer of mineral-safe maintenance oil (e.g., Camellia oil) before stowing.
Shaving Technique Note: Traditional Kamisori razors have a front (Omote) and back (Ura) side due to the single-bevel geometry. We highly recommend practicing traditional wet-shaving angles or checking razor tutorials to unlock its finest performance.
