This one just came to visit
Just too pretty not to share.. I haven't seen this particular Stamp before, anyone have a story ???
Doesn't look like the case has a real relationship..
I don't think the edge has been touched since it left the Maker's Hands
Drool Worthy :dropjaw:
All I know about those is that one is mint and quite lovely. Thanks for sharing.
I have one very similar, stainless steel, with what appears to be on the box Inoue Tosuke address and number.
PS they can take a ridiculously sharpe edge
Tosuke Razors came in a cardboard box with blue print on them. I used to sell them years ago. However he did make some "specials" aside from his regular run of the mill razors. I've never seen a special "in the flesh". Maybe you have one.
On the other hand that R in the print doesn't look familiar. It might not be a Tosuke maybe the handle only is.
You need a native speaker who can read it.
To my eyes, the kanji on the box matches that on the blade so I'd say it's a Tosuke.
He did use gold colored fill on the kanji of some razors also.
Can you see a weld line ? If not it could be one of the solid ones he made from Kikusui steel, a bit like Hitachi White 2.
I found a couple of others with a similar BoxQuote:

It might not be an "R". Might be kanji that looks like an "R" :shrug:
edit : Actually on further googling it is 尺 = shaku like the flute Shakuhachi 尺八
Sorry can't make out the 2nd character on the razor.
