    Even if the story is true, how does that make them a good buy?

    The quality is the question for me
    Find me on SRP's official chat in ##srp on Freenode. Link is at top of SRP's homepage

    I came across a webpage that purports that Robert Herder is still in business.

    If the pic was better we could see the logo. If it is a Herder there would be a windmill on it. No where on the site that I found did they mention str8s.

    You're right of course. I missed the dates. I was thinking this was NOS that had just had scales put on.

    The original company was in business 1894 - 1929 I thought they were referring to stock from this brand. In 1980? Obviously not.

    Carry on, there's nothing to see here.

    Run away, would be my rather uninformed opinion.

    '440 stainless' & 'Pakistan' are two words in the ad that are not synonymous
    with quality razors. Running away is a good idea
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
