Gentlemen,
The devil is in the Details!
Please not that it says in the description Titanium FINISH (I believe thats what it says)
These razors are COATED with an titanium nitride process. This will wear off eventually, leaving you with plain steel, which, if a lower quality, will never shave well again.
I would maybe buy them to give as gag gifts for april fools day. But thats just mho

I emailed this seller, here is the response:
Dear shenry1250,
Hi,
Many thanks for your question.
Yes you are correct that they are made in Pakistan for my company.
Sorry but return shipping from the USA is at your expense.
Kind regards
Roland

Some info for the new members the Pakistani steel is very brittle and hard. It's darn near impossible to get an edge on one as well as an edge that will last maybe through a very few shaves. Chances are your razor was a rear car spring before becoming a razor-LOL!
I've heard they are trying to make better steel but I sure haven't seen anything that indicates it.

Well it's obvious it was Pakistani junk but I think the instruction's on how to shave are worth the price by itself-Har Har.

Razors to avoid...
Just to add to the comments of the others (after all, I started this exercise), don't forget "THE LIST"
Brands of Straight Razors to avoid - Straight Razor Place Wiki
"Brands of Straight Razors to Avoid" including info on non-brand types of razors and notes about steel quality.

I think the instructions should include "get yourself a good razor."
