That's an insult to Gold Dollars, they can at least be made into shavers(but not really worth the trouble)

"Best Brand" razors, eh? Sounds like a Razor Shaped Object. Likely paying for the box, in the end...

I asked the seller where they were made and this was his response:
Hi, Many thanks for your question.
These razors are made from imported German carbon steel and are made for my company directly.
We ship all round the world from here in the UK.
They are our brand and come with a 100% guarantee if you are not happy.
Hope this helps?
Kind regards

Skirting the answer of origin of manufacture IMHO.. Awaiting his response on my second question to him trying to pin down the country on manufacture. My guess would be China?Last edited by jjon90; 11-18-2011 at 07:55 PM.

I was stupid enough to buy from this seller a couple of years ago. Honestly dont waste your money. The razor I bought was nothing like suitable for shaving with, it couldn't even manage to cut through arm hairs. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get any edge on it suitable for popping arm hairs. I still take it back to the hone evey now and again to see if I have improved enough as at honing, its always good to know that I discover its the blade and not me.
I would sooner take a sheet of glass, break it into 7 pieces and call that a 7 day set. There would be a better chance of shaving with it!

If anyone gets really curious, buy the set and send it to me and I will let you know if they can even be honed. From the pics (small pics at that) it doers not look well ground. @ jjon90, please keep us informed.

Just as I thought, got NO response from the seller. He's not giving up the origin as yet.

Finally got the origin of manufacture:
Dear jjon90,
Hi,
Sorry for not replying sooner, thought I had, Going mad!
The razors have been made for us for about 10 years now by a factory in Pakistan.
Best wishes
Roland
