Thread: What's the deal with these razors?

I don't know how I stumbled unto this page, and wondered if anyone has tried them. I am not convinced they are any good, and I tried to search for that page that tells you which razors to stay away from, but for some reason I can't find the page.

I also wondered, if a (now) familiar face, was aware that there's an instructional video of him shaving on that page? I hope, if these razors aren't very good, that they aren't trying to imply an endorsement from him by posting this video. If you scroll to the end of the pictures of the SRs, you'll find a link to a video of Lynn shaving in his bathroom.

Aside from that, I don't understand how those blades would stay so colourful, once honed a few times? And the prices seem a little too good to be true. Anyone ever heard of them before? Tried them?

LOL, yes indeed it is a great function.I'm a bit of a search engine junkie.
For some reason though, I am having trouble using the search function here, because I do, I really do, use search before asking a potentially redundant question. I don't know what I am doing wrong in search, but I have now ask several redundant questions, even after using the search. For this I typed "venus" and came up with nothing, and then I tried to looked for that page that has recommended and non recommended brands of blades. I'm still looking for that page! Yeesh.

Sorry about that guys. And, thanks for your patience. Haven't quite figured out what I am doing wrong yet.

What do you think?
