Hello Tony, it says Furuike or Koike... 古池
å¤æ± Â· Tangorin Japanese Dictionary

Meaning old pond, but it might be a name or a place maybe.

It is a New Inoue Tōsuke, R Tsuki (means "with" R, don't know what does R stand for) standard shape 18mm in stainless steel.
For its price I'd say less than a non stainless one.
Check by yourself on ebay to get an idea of its value.

You are welcome!
By the way I just discovered that R付 should mean round shape. Look at the profile of the spine, it is rounded and not 90 degrees. So that R might mean "round"

Very interesting! Nice razor!
But not much info to find here...

Last two would be: 幸作 Kō (?) saku (made by)
First... All these 叉夊夂又攵交 just doesn't feel right, and I don't know what else it could be...

Hopefully more help from Arsenico ;)

What word is written on the front?

Thanks!

Wargen 1000 is the name on the tang.
I did not find anything on the Wargen name.
I was hoping you guys would know something about the kanji.
11-03-2017, 09:28 PM
Fikira

Couldn't find anything more about "Wargen" as well...
At the moment I'm afraid I can't seem to help much, maybe Arsenico can help, hope so!

I found this vintage Wakizashi at my Brother-in-law’s house on Thanksgiving. I removed the handle and found this Kanji. It’s not a razor, but I’m hoping someone can help.

The Tsuba has markings as well. They are not as easy to read.

unknown nagura stamp

Can anyone help with the stamp on right on this nagura. The smaller one on the left says genuine Mikawa white nagura, but it is not stamped by Asano (obviously). I've cross-checked with Fikiras Kanji page but coldn't find a match.

Thanks very much in advance!

That is a new one for me as well:

ハサミ研用砥 = Hasami-ken-yō to = Sharpening stone for scissors!

Surprise! :)

That was fast! Thanks! :chapeau

Just from the feel when using it I would have guessed at Botan, it is definitely one of the coarser nagura. Now i wonder if it might be Ban or Atsu. Iirc Keith from tomonagura dot com mentioned that he had seen Atsu used for scissors...

Fikira has a little write up on Yasuki steel. Also if you scroll through his website you will probably find the answer to the kanji as well.
https://historyrazors.wordpress.com/...ciality-steel/

On that page if you click on the other shaving website link you will find a good amount of info on tama steel etc.

Hi!

Thanks! Just helping if possible, I also hope Arsenico is doing well!

Regarding "Inoue",

井上藤助 (作) > "Inoue Tōsuke" (saku) > (made by) "Inoue Tōsuke"
So, actually, your razor says 藤助 > "Tōsuke"

As far as I know this kamisori is made by the company of "Inoue Tōsuke",
which doesn't necessarily mean that "Inoue Tōsuke" made it himself, razors made by him are marked 井上藤助作

Hope this helps!

Hi,

The first I cannot read, but it will be in the line of "special made" or something like that
The 2nd & 3rd:

特殊鋼製 = Tokushu kōsei = Made of special steel
森田特撰 = Morita tokusen = Morita special made

The other ones are too difficult for me, although the 4 "top" (left) kanji on the last one
(were one is totally gone and one still is visible as a hint) =登録商標 = tōroku shōhyō = registered trademark
