Hi aaron,
it means Masahiro Katei Toishi (Masahiro Whetston ... katei means "home" as opposite to "for professional use")
Hope this helps!

Hello everyone,

just recently I bought my first Japanese straight razor and I'd like to know what is stamped on the tang, so maybe I can figure out who made it.

I increased contrast and brightness to improve readability.

Hi, I believe it is:

秋水 Shūsui (not entirely sure)
手打レーザ teuchi rēza = handmade razor
日立ヤスキ鋼 Hitachi Yasuki-kō = Hitachi Yasuki steel

Anything about this stone? Thank you.

So I guess that's supposed to be the name of this razor? Might be a reference to that Manga sword "Shūsui" ... On the other hand I heard about a certain variety of Koi that's called Shusui. But who would name a razor after a fish?

If it was Chinese it would mean "autumn", right?

You're welcome!

Indeed, that would be the trademark/maker/factory or something like that.
I guess it could be translated as "Autumn water", but I'm really not sure, I'm even not entirely sure if it is 秋水 so...

"Arsenico" most probably will know this ;)
