    That's a fine looking Iwasaki Tony I've not seen that stamp version before could you post up a few more close ups of the tang markings both sides.

    Thanks Jamie.

    The top two are of the photos I initially posted. I can obviously only post clearer definitions once the razor is in hand. The photo on the bottom is from https://historyrazors.wordpress.com/2016/12/08/iwasaki/

    Are the curved R. Saito razors any good, or are they just for looks?

    I have never met a Saito, curved or otherwise, that was not a fantastic razor to shave with.
    I own 4 different iterations of his and love them all. Great sound, great edge, and great resulting shave.
    Cheers.
