Very many Revisors and their 'rarities of the wofld' razors have gone through my hands, and all have been excellent razors.

It is a current producer (mass producer) that is a par with others like Dovo and T I - in my experience their shave ready condition and QC control puts them firmly at the top of the list, I would even put them in advance of the new Wackers in terms of quality control and customer friendliness.

This was an interesting response to say the least. Seems to be more about personal history than the current discussion ... I read his post and assumed the pictures are of the "modern" equipment being used today in Solingen by Revisor. I don't think there is room for this equipment in Robin's place. It read like a guy who is frustrated by people continuing to act like a few REALLY old guys using antique equipment is a "modern factory" with "state of the art machinery. How they would be capable of mass producing anything and selling to large concerns is a mystery. According to a friend who was hanging out with Thomas yesterday, Revisor can make about 100 razors per month. Dovo can produce 10k in that time. You write that you are particular in answering but it seems you are confusing Revisor with "The Grah & Plümacher Company" and "<the other one".

According to people who consider themselves friends with Thomas, Revisor are not behind the razor linked in the OP, and neither are they behind the Gotta razors sold on Amazon. But I don't know definitively
