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 清 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
