Without a makers stamp you’ll be hard pressed to learn the maker. Someone might be able to help. Oh and welcome to SRP.

That looks like a traditional Chinese razor used to shave the head in the hairstyle called the Queue, shaved at the front and sides and long plated ponytail at the back. It’s rather like the Japanese...

Not sure on the makers but on the top pic 玉鋼 is the kanji for Tamahagane.

The top 2 kanji mean Tamahagane, cant say who the maker is though.

Yep a stainless Tosuke.

I have the same razor and the shave it gives is truly wonderful.

On my box it says "Inoue Tosuke put his heart and soul into making this stainless steel razor"

I can...

Thank you for taking the time to do this, nice site.:chapeau

Nice.

I cant see the usual kanji for Tamahagane... no expert though

Cheers mate! You are a gentleman.

Its an 8/8 - 25mm
