Thread: Japanese Straights

Forgot to post, i also have a Kamisori Sasuga (a New Sasuga), one of my best Kamisoris :-)

NOS Command made for Yamaai Co. and Tanifuji Ten Star. Just a speculation but by the blade design the Command might have been made by Tanifuji. That blade design is very specific for that maker from what I have seen.

absolutely love that one, really sweet razor

Man I love Tanifujis, simple yet elegant and perfectly made.
I maybe stabbing wildly in the dark but I look at some Japanese razors and feel they could be made by Tanifuji yet stamped under a different name or blanks were used.

Here some comparison shots of Command and Maxfli Gold

The Command could easily be a Tanifuji production, great find.

Both were made for the Yamaai Co. so I think it is possible.

Beautiful razor, Stefan. You have a knack for finding NOS Japanese razors.

One I've been longing for, for a while. A magnificent shaver and so much fun to hone!
