Japanese Western style Str8

Can someone please translate the kanji on this beautiful Japanese Western style blade? It has been scaled by Max some time ago and has been presented to me. It is high quality steel and I would appreciate any information on this blade. Thank you
MIke

I wish I could help Modine but while I have seen several of those razors over time I do not know the maker or translation
for that matter. I would bet Stefan has handled a few of those razors. Perhaps he will spot this thread and leave some info.
