Thread: Can anyone ID some of the stamps on this Kamisori?

Just won this one for a nice price given the overall wear. Excited to finally try one of these.

The one next to the spine says "tape before honing".

I don't know about the next two (top to bottom)

The third one is a biohazard sign... I think it means "disinfect before/after use".

Don't know about the fourth one.

The bottom one is either the "Home" icon, or an arrow, meaning "point that end away from you!"

Make sure it is shave ready before using it.

Yeah, it's definitely not as of right now. I know someone who can hone this properly.

I'll have better pics up in a few days.

No expert,but the blade could be a Tamahange

If no own IDs it by tomorrow shoot a PM with a link to the thread to mainaman. Stefan is pretty up on Japanese razors and their nomenclature.

Thank you for that! For sub $70 to my door, I am ecstatic given the low wear.

Sounds about right
