I agree with Walt. I bought a small number of what I thought were bargain razors and they turned out to be Pakistani I Won't Hold My Edge and Will Dull Just By Looking At Me razors. With that lesson in mind I have since found several good English and German blades and am looking forward to smooth shaves in the future. I also wish I had heeded sound advice at the beginning and bought a reasonably priced new razor from the wide list of acceptable razors that SRP lists.

Yours, Razorfeld
