See what you started? Haha. The point has been made that it is heresay to avoid them and promote avoiding them based on what others say rather than ones own experience. However if you search through the years of posts on these razors and note who it is that says what, then you get a sense of the issues. When members here have a reputation for detail, insight and vast experience their words carry weight. If you have zero experience with pakistan or chinese made razors, by all means spend the little $ and test it out for yourself. You can then add to this already dead issue. For some its not worth the time to investigate. I personally have experience from picking up various less suitable razor brands in lots I've bought. I know it is not worth my time investment regardless of $ savings. I will also say I just thus week have picked up several american and english razors needing less work to make shave ready for $5-10 each. The geometry on all of them is already sound. But again, is your time worth the hands on knowledge vs the years of experience from highly respected senior members? If so, don't avoid it, buy one and throw it out with the old bic disposables when done investigating!
