Thread: straight razor manufacturers

In a way I'm surprised that demand is high enough to
keep TI and Dovo in business. I have to wonder though,
with proper steel could those makers in Pakistan turn out
high quailty razors? or would their equipment simply grind
at too high of a speed and burn out the temper of the
steel?

I'd bet they would just ruin the good steel.

Expencive is very loosely used term. What is high for one, might be pocket change for another. Anyways, straight razor is not something you buy every month, or year. You get one for life. And it better be good.

Now I think THAT'S funny. One razor ... riiiight.

I believe that Henkells still makes razors and I also believe there ARE some decent japanese razor makers out there. I'ma Google to see.

Henkells, or Zwilings had some small selection 5 and 6/8 razors, priced ~150$ on their website. I haven't heard of japanese razors?

This is the thread we had last year with a link to a site that sells some Japanese style razors, but I'm sure I saw another where they (the Japanese) were making western style razors and I don't mean that Kamisori junk neither.

I have enough trouble with regular razors forget those Japanese models I will lose too much blood.
