    Hi, the first kanji is 東 (east) and the third 行 (go, among other meanings)
    I can't understand the second and figure the meaning of the whole sentencs out.

    Another "Chinese razor". Not made in China. Near as I remember they were a fad that went along with the China trade in the mid 19th Century. You see those made by a lot of the big Sheffield houses. The kanji markings are usually gobbeldy gook and have no meaning, they look neat though. LOL
    They're good razors. Tillotson is a good name and maker. You stole that one. Good snag.
    This one happens to be a W&B
