I do not think SRD sells G&F straight razors.

They do not.
In my experience, these razors do not hone well or shave well.
Have fun.Neil Miller likes this.

That's kinda what I was thinking but wanted to make sure. They appear to be at a very good price. Guess just not a good value.

Stay away from them like from any others on the brands to avoid list.

Sad thing is, a fine reputation is being ruined. For good or bad, people will associate the name with the late model junk and know not of the fine vintage products of yesteryear. Happening a lot out there. Sort of like songs. Some people cannot write anything good, so they put out a crappy version of an old tune.
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.
