Thanks Rolf!

Never heard of Mansulo, but Dorko is top quality. I have 16 or 17 Dorko's myself. Absolutely top shavers.

The scales on the Dorko are awesome.
They have a classic vintage look to them.

I have a nice Manaslu razor that is made in Japan that has a very similar marking on the scales.
I would guess that its possible that the Japanese made a razor that was styled after another make with a similar name?
The Japanese razor I have is of excellent quality of manufacture and the steel its made from has outstanding qualities as well.

The Manaslu should have a Nichiri marking also
The are rather hard to read as most of the time the scales are covering the stamps

Yes, The MANASLU is marked 205 Nichiri CO. TOKYO JAPAN on the tang.
On the reverse side of the tang is marked Y.SS2.H SILVER STEEL.
