    Yes. I have a Tanifuji (my best razor actually) that is stamped with a clients brand name.

    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.

    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.
