Had a flick through the ShaverShop catalogue this morning, and almost fell off my chair (well not really, I was standing).
Besides the Dovos and other big brand straights they stock, the hair product manufacturer Wahl has stepped up to the plate
Cut Throat Razor
Why do I think dressed up Gold Dollar?
The ad does not use the terminology that this forum uses.
I'd bet a Dollar to a Dog Turd that the 'Wahl' is just a Gold Dollar or a Gold Monkey! I have a made by the C. H. Ina Company 'razor like' item that I'd bought for my 5 year old grandson as a 'Play Razor' that has Identical Scales as this 'Wahl'!Quote:

At $50 I wouldn't hold my breath, but being a reputable company at least you should be able to send it back if it fails to take an edge. The NZ site is advertising Lamberts luscious straight razor for $200, made here. Will try and find out more about it.Quote:

It doesn't look like there is any Wahl branding on the razor. Wahl has a pretty good reputation for making pro quality electric clippers. I'd be surprised if they knew about their brand being used to sell dodgy straights.
Seen them quite a few years back at SS.
440C. No tang stamps . $50. All one needs to make a decision
Grand kids were here for the day yesterday and my now 7 year old grandson brought his 'razor' so I could take pics. While it's much smaller than the 'Wahl' the scales and pins are nearly identical.

Is that a Pakistanian Roy ? ;)
NOPE! Delivered Directly From the C. H. Ina Company! I Think it was something like $6-8 Delivered!Quote:

I can picture the both of you standing there in front of a mirror, faces all lathered up and doing the same shaving strokes....... :rofl2:

Mate, you wouldn't believe how many don't get that 'tongue in cheek humor'! :wQuote:

Well not quite 'next door' but in the same neighborhood! Besides where do you think I came up with the 'idea' :wQuote:
