Yeah, but sometimes you're paying for materials and child labor...which is a significant savings over real, American craftsmanship!

Maxam is to knives as what zeepk is to razors. Their knives are made-in-china knockoffs with mystery stainless steel, and I can't imagine their razors to be any better.

I don't know how come i haven't seen this early. i have experience with this brand.
This is chinese made straight razor and when they advertise they say "even you can shave with it."
This blade is wedge blade and will not keep the edge until you put up at least 4 layer's of tape.
i did finally get it sharp enough(not same as we used to get sharpness from regular razor).
it is very cheap blade i assume less then 10$ but has very nice handle.
My advise keep yourself away from it. You will have less headache.
hope this help.
if anyone can add this to wiki go head do so.
