Iwasaki vs Another Tamahagane Kamisori – Is the Price Worth It?

Is the legendary Iwasaki Tamahagane truly the finest kamisori ever made? Judging by its price and reputation, many collectors would say yes—but does it really outperform other handcrafted Japanese razors? In this video, we compare an Iwasaki Tamahagane kamisori with a lesser-known handmade kamisori forged from the same traditional Tamahagane steel, the material historically used for Japanese samurai swords. Both razors are carefully sharpened and compared to see whether the premium price of the Iwasaki translates into a noticeably better edge and shaving experience. The results may surprise you. https://jnats.eu/en/
