Neill is spot on in my personal experience. I've had the pleasure if meeting Thomas and his family in person, and they are dedicated even by German standards. Incredibly generous and hospitable, too. Which is why I feel it necessary to stress what Neil quite rightly said. I have handled about two dozen Revisor razors, both NOS (ie razors made decades ago which were mint, wrapped in oil paper, never used) and new production. The new ones were every bit as good as the NOS ones out of the box. Absolutely no need for me to refine the factory edges, because the Kronenbergs are far more competent than I when it comes to anything cutthroat razor.

So, we have one documented incident with a sub par finished Revisor, Neil's first hand experience with a tremendously low rate of duds - I think we should leave it at that. SRP has always had a policy of discouraging libellous allegations made against manufacturers and vendors, and I think that is something that sets it apart from certain other forums.

And no, I am not paranoid. Anyone shaving with a large amount of used blades runs a significant risk of contracting diseases. There is a WHO report about occurrences of chronic hepatitis in Turkish barbers somewhere on the Internet, and it speaks for itself (yes, Turkey is a higher risk country than the US, no that does not make my argument invalid, the risk is still relevant).

And Neil, I am not acting like a moderator in the slightest. Being German, I like things nice and orderly. One thread, one topic.
