    Default Wahl Straight Razor

    Had a flick through the ShaverShop catalogue this morning, and almost fell off my chair (well not really, I was standing).

    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'!

    Saw that too, doesn't look like a gold dollar, different grind. 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.

    Yeah I wouldn't hold mine either, but it's the cheapest new straight i've seen in this country.

    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
