I was wondering what India's straight razors are like. My friend has offered to get me 12 straight razors for $1 (I'm guessing he was exaggerating, but heck, I don't know ) Are their str8s like the Japanese? Or are they more the style of the German str8s? What should expect from the quality of these str8s? Is India generally known for good razors or bad razors? Should I not risk getting a bad razor, and instead go get a beginers German str8? (Keep in mind that this would be my first razor. I also don't want to end up hating straight razor shaving just because of a bad razor)

I just wanted to get an idea of what I would be getting to see if it was worth it (well, I guess $1 is not that much to shell out, but he might have trouble explaining to the custom agents why he is carrying 12 knifes )
