Thats not a $375 razor, that's a $5 razor shaped object which somebody claims to be worth $375, but they are so nice to give you a 70% discount on that price. That scheme has been around for some time, and makes pretty good money.
That's one of the reasons the design is 'unique', and the brand is 'new' (often focus-group tested), sometimes there is even no brand markings. The purpose of these is to prevent (price) comparisons and tracing the items to the source where it can be discovered what they really are.
Get back your money and visit Birnando for the real deal on straight razor shaving.

Even if you assumed it was a quality piece the ergonomics for shaving are terrible. I'd get my money back.

First of all, welcome to SRP, we are like family.
$375 USD??????
That is awful quality of what is supposed to be a straight razor but I don't even consider it to be one. I just went to their website & there is a contact by email only but after that, I tried to view their straight razors & my computer froze up!!! When I tried to go back it was all pixelated to the point that I just had to close it out because it is infected with a virus or something. I have a Macbook Pro so it may not have been compatible. Write to them & tell them you are a very unsatisfied customer & that you want a full refund no matter what! Get your money back & get with Birnando. That place gives the appearance of some exclusive company when they are really hiding behind that screen & have nothing but things that aren't worth what they are supposed to be. Just get your money back & forget them forever!Last edited by engine46; 09-12-2014 at 02:45 AM.

Thanked: 171When I read the "Meisturwerk Machinen" in the title, I first thought it was a double typing error, but then I saw that it actually said that on the blade.
As many good straight razors come from there; it alludes to being German (Meister = Master, Werk = works, Maschinen = machines), but as you can see, they couldn't even get the spelling right.
But then again, they couldn't well put "Certifiable Rubbish Damascus Steel Straight Razor Wannabe" on the blade, could they?
It would have been too long, might have challenged their spelling even more, and impeded their chances to make a fast buck.
I hope you'll succeed in getting your money back; otherwise sorry for your loss, you may have to book it in that case under "Lessons Learned".
Stick around here a bit, after a while you may get the feel of what's a good razor, where to buy it, and you will find that good straight razors don't need to be expensive.

Thanked: 0Wow, thanks for the quick response.
I appreciate everyones opinion, but I have a hard time believing that the razor is that bad.
Clearly they donĀ“t have much experience making razors. But is it not worth the 150$ if I get a new one which edge is straight and centered, and of quality steel that can hold an lasting edge?
I also found a site about razor sharpening and even warped blades can be sharpened.
It might be I am a ignorant fool that just like the looks of the razor and not ready to give it all up yet.
I have been following this brand on instagram and such sites for a while, and they seem very talented and innovative in many areas.
I run their website with chrome on macbook pro and works fine.
As I see it I need to figure out if this steel is any good before making a decision on a refund or new razor. Any idea how to do that?
