Muko・武庫・Kamisori ・Restored Vintage Japanese Straight Razor・ Rattan Handle Wrapping・Handmade Hinoki Wood BoxMukoJapanese straight razorKamisori. Directly imported from Japan and restored by us to a hair popping quality and sharpness. With Specially made Hinoki Wood Box. The razor was made in the Showa period, approximately in the 1940s. It has awesome file marks (Yasurime) on the back. In a Higaki pattern. These patterns were pretty common on Japanese Sword tangs as well.

It was made pre 2nd WW
