Lovely! So is there a chart somewhere which will tell us how to ID makers on Kamisoris?
Ive only gone by matching up past posts and ebay. Ive also tried some kanji translators that were ok. It would be great to have a makers kanji chart...
Lovely razors - I like pulling out the Kamisoris now and then and always enjoy them...
My latest edition to the kamisori family: a Iwasaki Tamahagane. Not sure if it was made by Mizuochi san, Iwasaki san, or a combination of both masters. All I can say is its a wonderful shaver and feel like im using a piece of history in which way it was made. Attachment 184644

Iwasaki has not made razors himself for several decades.
I actually have three japanese Razor but im sure there will come more :-)
First my Toyo Hasimoto No.666 FB, you all know the number and yes thats the way it shaves, a hell of a Razor and one of the very best i own. Its a FB but not comparable with othe FB´s as it shaves like full hollow, the Tang and the Back are browned, the letters on the Back are Gold, got it nearly NOS, the pre-owner shaved with it only one time.

Second one is a HAIROP as avaible in a german Shop, NOS and 13/16" wide, also not comparable with classic FB´s, a very nice Shaver.
