    just a model number, like many Solingen and other Japanese razors. I doubt anyone but the maker knows exactly what it means

    Could be, but does it really matter? A typical SR is in the 59-61 HRC range. If the razor was at that hardness, and we do not know that, it will shave just fine. If you want a really hard tempered Iwasaki get a Tamahagane one.

    Sorry, not what I meant. I just thought that the iwasaki's being more recent people knew. Eastern smooth blog had a couple of models and what they meant. That's all.

    Got it. Unfortunately even Jim could not get information on the meaning of the numbers.

    I can see the Iwasaki stamp on this Western Iwasaki Kamisori, but in looking at the other marks, I'm wondering if this Kami is also Tamahagane.

    This is the best pic I have so far:
