    Default Japanese Razor with Box - Translation Request

    Hello All,

    I am new to this forum and stumbled across it yesterday while researching some Japanese optics.

    I am an avid collector of WWII Japanese Ordnance and Tropical Field and Personal Equipment

    This is one fantastic Razor that I just came by recently.

    Would be interesting to know what the script on the box and razor translates as. Hopefully someone can help me out here.

    Also if anyone has a spare packet of blades I would be interested.

    Many thanks,
    BOUGAINVILLE

    The box reads in red at the top, from right to left:
    高級自動安全剃刀
    Koukyu Jidou Anzen Kamisori
    Luxury Automatic Safety Razor
    Jidou, "Automatic", really is "self powered." A bicycle is a Jidou-sha, self-powered cart

    Then vertically in blue:
    軍人安全
    Gunjin Anzen
    Soldier Safety

    The face of the razor has a star with the kanji which means pure; English "NEW" below the kanji.

    Along the bottom is "New Device Patent Kanoya Model"
    新案特許 カノヤ 式
    Shinantokkyo Ka-no-ya shiki

    Kanoya is a proper noun and might be 鹿屋
