Pakistan razors... maybe not today! But, what about Indian razors?

The other day I read that 50% of all shaves in India are still with a straight razor. Anyone ever heard that? Does anyone know whether good quality straight razors are available from India? (Never heard it mentioned here.)

An Indian acquaintance of mine has become interested in straight razor shaving (thru me), and is going back to India in January. A friend is lining up a few straights for him. And, I asked my friend to pick one up for me as well.

Any special "Indian" knowledge? Any experience out there guys?
