Terrific looking razors! Nice score sir.
:tu
The Spalding is the one I like most, all three are lookers though.
I think is is neat how the Japanese named some of their razors.
Spalding, a glove. MaxFli gold, a golf ball? Corvette, a car. Parker...Parker knives?
Certainly there are many more.
SWEEEETTT!!!! Very nice haul there.Quote:

The story I know is that Iwasaki would forge their Tamahagane and later Swedish steel blades and send them off to the Tanifuji factory to be finished and scaled. Iwasaki entrusting Tanifuji with the operation says it all about how good Tanifuji are.Quote:
