I have two Iwasaki Kamisori, a 50mm and a 60 mm one, the 50 mm one is primarily for face shaving and traditionally the 60 mm one was for head shaving but I don't shave my head so both are used for face shaving.
Realising that they both could with a light hone I set about searching for someone who could undertake this work.
After much looking on the Internet one name kept comming up as someone who may fit the bill.
The name was "Pugh-the-special -one Aka Jamie. Who just happens to be on this forum amongst others.
I sent him a PM asking if he would undertake this work for me and he shortly replied to me saying yes and told me about his prices ect.
I sent them off to South Wales where he lives and he phoned me Monday lunch time to say he had recieved them and he would start straight away......great news I thought, thinking I sould have them back in a couple of days or so.
Well a few hours later he phoned me again and said he had done the work and would post back straight away, this is on Monday....the day he recieved them!
He told me the difference with the Kamisori was like "chalk and cheese "
True to his word he had posted them on Monday for me to recieve them back on Tuesday (the very next day) that is what you call a fast turn around!
I shaved with my 50mm Kam today and wow, it was like another razor, these razors have never been this sharp even when I bought them new.
So a big shout going out to Jamie, @pugh-the-special-one for not only doing a fantastic job in honing them but for doing it so quickly and at a very competitive price too, so a big THANK YOU to you Jamie, you are indeed a Honemeister Extraordinaire .
