I know Florin Pincotan pretty well he's someone I trust a friend and a good guy, he's certainly very knowledgable and someone with more than a keen interest in Japanese razors and stones.

These are a few examples.

Tom they just don't look right to me and when you consider that Iwasaki forged all their own razors and have all their own tang stamps why would they want to etch them? out of all the Iwasaki razors...

Those are the ones I'm talking about I personally don't believe they are Iwasaki razors.

To me whenever I see one with a etch blade and double stabilzers there is something that says to me no.

The one thing for me that casts a doubt over the autheticity of these razors is the double stabilizers? I have never seen a western style Iwasaki razor with a double stabilzer or a etched stamp.
