Yeah, the Solingen looked ok to me! You never know unless you try!

I was wondering the same, but the Croc razor looked good, solid and tight. I never used it sold it and kept the Carl Schlieper. I have also seen several since this one. Not a lot of them though. I think the same thing about the NOS Dorkos that keep showing up and up for stupid money.
If you are new go with a proven item and get something that you will like.

Correct, don't get something no one has ever heard of! You're right about the Dorko's too, they go for stupid money!!!!! I have one but I bought the blade off eBay for about $50 because I got lucky & on a separate occasion I found a good used set of scales with a screwed up blade. I just need to hone the other blade because it was a new blank blade! I think I will let someone who grinds blades do it because sometimes the blanks need a little more grinding.
