I was recently forced by the Lather Games Rules Committee to acquire a kamisori.

Question for the samurai among you: how do you store your kamisori to protect its edge?

Wait a minute. Aren't YOU the lather games rule committee

Forced by himself, his only option was to yield.

If you insist on making one single person the symbol of the committee, it would be a more spongiform fellow than I ๐Ÿ˜‰

Maybe one of those edge protectors like a chef might use?

This is how a real Samurai stores his kamisori. In my case, being of low extraction, I simply remove the blade from my Feather kamisori shavette, and store the razor away.

And I commiserate that - despite your heroic resistance - you ended up having no choice but to acquire another razor.

Thank you for acknowledging my heroism!
