Looks like they're may be some new Pakistani additions to the "Razors to avoid list"

Probably why the eBay listing doesn't mention country of manufacture.

Lawsuit!
The problem with these razors is people see them, think they look the part and sink the cash on them. Then they either get a cut, a lousy shave or no shave at all and thats really discouraging for new guys.
Thats a really beautiful razor you've made there Gabor, I love it!

I just spotted a fake razor in a Tucson antique store this afternoon. The blade looked like stainless steel, and had the Shakespeare bust and quote "as keen As is the razor's edge invisible" lightly etched in black-low quality etching and the blade looked brand new and not ground right for a razor. No tang stamps or other markings at all. The scales were thick white plastic and looked cheap. Pakistani, I fear! I have an ivory scaled Thomas Turner with the same bust and quote, but there is absolutely no comparison between the two. Fake!!!
