I´m pretty shure, we will see in the next time some other designs, that will us remember on razors, that we saw at Mastro Livi, R. Williams, J. Chandler, L.R. Harner or all the other creative straigth razor makers... :cen

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

The whole country IS on the "razors to avoid list".

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

Well that is... felicitous...

It comes with a sheath , so you can keep it handy . Might not shave you very well , but it sure looks badass . :roflmao

Lawsuit! :D

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! :)

That's crazy. Looking at it positively: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

shameless... I would say though that they picked a good one to copy, yours looks amazing (don't know how I feel about the birdwing yet though)

Missing country of manufacture??
One might raise an issue with Ebay since country
of manufacture is a requirement by treaty and
Ebay is party to a violation of US treaty and law.

Look at the point on the original & look at the point on the copy... slightly different :)

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!!!

Check out this thread here on the 'damascus' razors on USA ebay. The guy says he is the maker in Pa. but the scales on one of his look remarkably similar ..... at least to me they do. :hmmm:

Must have a special cloning forge :p
