    Verdict of folks with no experience or direct knowledge, IIRC.

    And here we go again.

    Why don't YOU buy this razor and give us an honest opinion on how it really shaves after multiple uses? If you were really convinced that it's a worthwhile product I'm sure you'd have one already....

    If there was a complete 1 year, money back guarantee, including all shipping costs I might try one if somebody else did first and I knew them to be honest. :<0).
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Yes, what else would you expect.
    A product that wants to mask it self as a Japanese razor, made in HK.
    It doesn't say "Made in Japan", but "Knife steel: Japan ACRM-2", still what it doesn't say is "Made in China", why is that?
    The Chinese still have to prove themselves in toolmaking before I would buy anything from them when I want quality.
    The Japanese tools were considered crap not long ago but they have with time built themselves a name.

    We talk about a lot of razors we've never held in our hand but a Solingen razor made in 1880 is usually a good one, we know that by experience.
    The experience I've had with Chinese and Pakistani razors people sent me for sharpening is not good at all.
    What else can we do?

    I know some guys bought Gold Dollars and got samples that out of 10 only 1 or 2 were good enough to make something out of.
    You look down the edge and it looks like a snake, all bent, no tempering or inclusions in the steel, that doesn't speak quality to me!

    If anyone still want to try it, go ahead, I and I'm sure most guys here would do what they can to help getting it in a shave ready state,
    and if it turns out it's a winner, well then the Chinese have started to build on their reputation.

    There's a seller on eBay UK selling these, and they (the seller) clearly state that they're made in China - the term "Japan Steel" certainly does not mean made in Japan.

    Any good? I have no idea, but I've just ordered one because I want to find out - I'll let you know what I think when I try it.

    My guess is it shaves ok, but it's not actually stainless.
    One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.
