Thread: Counterfeit Solingens

I have it on good authority that this 260515120357 is fake.

I understand from a pro restorer that it may be pakastani. It will not take an edge. This is from Altima55, or Bob Keyes. He was able to get his money back...Here's his email:

Check this out, 260515120357, In case you don't know about these. These and others are flooding the market now. Quite good looking, but definitely counterfeits, all marked with German printing or made in Germany, etc.. I bought one of these exactly like it along with another different German fake from pita_60.

I honed them up, or at least tried to and they acted like any other Paki sh**. they wouldn't get even the slightest bit shave ready. When I asked pita_60, who is Livia and Cesar Aguillon in Oak Forest, Indiana for a refund, they gave me one with not too much trouble.

In conversing with Livia, she said they had sold lots of these. On this particular one in this auction, the F.W.E., she said they had 20 more to sell. I put this razor on an ebay search and sure enough they are selling them. They also have other fake German look alikes they're selling, and at very good prices.

Not the usual Paki stuff an experienced eye can detect right off, but in an ebay auction pic, good enough to create bidding. There is no end to these con artists and they're getting better at reproducing their sh**. Some other sellers like this one are also selling them.

Just thought I'd send out a heads up on these, Bob Keyes
