I'm sorry if it seems like I am doubting nearly everything you say (Rocarule) but I have only ever dealt with hard facts and transparency, so I find it hard to deal with cryptic, undisclosed information. In the above thread Luigi claims that the reason for not revealing his friend's identity is something to do with the razor being unregistered or unpatented or something of that sort, which seems a little odd to me. I know that getting a patent can be pricey, but the unitary EU patents have slashed the price considerably, and for much of the timeframe we are talking about they were all but abolished in Italy, anyway (changed in Jan 2007 I believe).
So, in the absence of any concrete information I must remain sceptical about the origin of the Gladiator Razor.

no worries no reason to believe anything i said, after all i am not a a merchant, i don't sell the razor, nor i am trying to persuade anybody from buying anything. I was courious to see if anybody else had any experience with the razor ( first hand) and i anybody knew the origins of the razor. if you noticed i was the one pointing at the obvious wide bevel and thin spine, not because i am an expert but because my other razors that are 7/8 or larger have spines closer to 1/4" instead of a bit under 3/16. but i did shave with the razor and it was shave ready. here is a video but i must admit that it lacks quality.
