The SK2 and 3 are awesome razors, they are a lot of fun to hone.

Seems it would take someone as yourself to do a proper job!

Yesterday I got three NOS Japanese straights.
Parker 510, Tanifuji Spalding, and Tanifuji Maxfli Gold

Terrific looking razors! Nice score sir.

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.

Parker 510 I have two of. They are a great blade but Mr Fukitaro Tanifuji, this blades take the prize for me. Some say Tanifuji taught Iwasaki how to make blades.... I'm always on the hunt for NOS Tanifuji but they are very expensive.

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.

Master Katana makers often sent often sent out their swords to be finished too.
