    Are these razors made real Tamahagane steel?
    Which of two razors most famous?
    What is this small stamp on the third photo?

    The razors are made with Hitachi factory made "Tamahagane" steel.
    Great steel, great shavers.

    The characters look like 梅次 to me. No idea what they mean together in Japanese, but the first one means 'plum'. Probably a name. Anyway, you can copy and paste the characters and see whether you come up with anything.

    Edit: This thread has a razor also marked 梅: https://straightrazorpalace.com/razo...aights-98.html

    Hello gentlemans! I need help. The point is that I have straight razor Tanifuji Kintaki, but I can not find at least a hint of when it could be made. There is some information about Tanifuji on the Internet: a brief biography, years of life, it is said that it was issued among others under the brand Kintaki. But when it could be made and what does this name mean - no any information. I will be very grateful for your help. Thanks
