Some Information that I found...
Thanks for all the help with this razor!
JimR, a special thanks for your help, and your blog Blogs | Eastern Smooth and the wonderful information that is available there (I also corrected the "TOSUKE" misspelling in my original post).
Here is some aditional information that I found for this razor...
Google is good!
On the ura side of the rubber grip is written "Kikusui" & I found in Wikipedia:
"Kikusui (菊水町; -machi) was a town located in Tamana District, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. On March 1, 2006 Kikusui was merged with the town of Mikawa, also from Tamana District, to form the new town of Nagomi and no longer exists as an independent municipality. As of 2005, the town had an estimated population of 6,523 and a density of 170 persons per kmē. The total area was 38.27 kmē" and this: "The Kikusui ("Floating Chrysanthemum") raids, a series of ten large kamikaze suicide raids carried out by Imperial Japanese Navy and Imperial Japanese Army aircraft against Allied ships off Okinawa in 1945"
And, are those floating chrysanthemum's on this kamisori's handle?????
Also, "Kikusui", among many other Google hits, is a brewer of saki and a hotel.
I think the name on the omote side of the rubber grip is "Yasuki" and it is the name of the steel. Some reference is made in an advanced honing post by "alx" from January 2011 here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/advan...urr-edge.html; there is at least one more post with a mention of "Yasuki" steel in SRP.
If I am correct and that is the name of the steel from which this razor is made, details can be found here: http://www.mehr-als-werkzeug.de/medi..._M_WE_D_en.pdf
So I believe that my razor is an "Inoue Tosuke - Yasuki Kamisori" & the Master' name is not on the rubber grip, it is stamped into the ura. But, "What do I know" - read that somewhere...
