    Default Kamisori Help please

    Hello, I got those two on ebay, very nice razors, they are very high quality feel, can you please ID them? The handle is wraped on some snake like leather on both of them. One is 6/8 and one is 11/16, and both shave ready.
    Thank you very much

    Are the razors original or fake? It is japanese writing?

    Maybe the photos but they don't look shave ready. No doubt genuine old well worn razors.

    Blades do not look like a fake, they are original and most probably vintage. And I'm sure stamps are in Japanese.

    They would be an awful expensive and difficult thing to fake. Isn't there a subforum of japan where someone could interpret the kanji? Like JimR?

    Sorry to be so late...

    The first one is a "Kanemasa" 兼正

    the second a "Yamamasa"  with 2 "piramids on top to reppresent mountains ("yama")
    Also:Above, right; Gokujô 極上(1st quality)

    That's a topper kami you've got there!

    Above "yamamasa" is Tôroku 登録 (registered (trademark))
    The round sign and bottom is unclear

    Kindest regards
