Thread: NTS razors?

I bought an NTS stainless from thesuperiorshave.com, 7 or 8 months ago. It isn't my favorite but a solid shaver and it's easy to maintain. I use it for travel often.
TSS had a little write up when they were selling them. Said it was a small shop in soligen. They also make scissors, a tto razors and a little travel kit I've seen for sale else where.
It's a quality razor with good steel. Better than a modern Timor, but fit and finish isn't as high quality as other current makers.
IMHO, a good stainless steel shaver at a decent price.

I looked for S&Gs and TSS is still selling them: Here is the write from their website. They also have an inexpensive stainless model, probably similar to what your looking at, since it is priced at $90 - 98 USD.

"NTS Solingen is a sort of collective of independent-operator master grinders working together under their own brand name, rather like how VP Leonhardy is for brushes. Everything they produce is made, by hand, 100% by themselves, in their own factory (for the purposes of padding the diversity of the shelves of their e-store, they do import some Indian-made safety razors, razor sheaths, bowls, etc., but all of their scissors, nippers, and straight razors are entirely made in-house)..."

I also found what appears to be NTS' webstore:

However, last time I was in Dublin I found a shop selling NTS Razors with stainless steel blades. They're priced at 89 euros (which isn't too much) however I've never heard of the brand and have no idea if it might be worth getting one.
They're made in Solingen, so that might make it seem to be a decent razor.
the link for the razor is Straight razor
Have any of you guys any experience with these razors?
Thanks

Hey Bren, I forgot about this but The Superior Shave sells these razors. I was reminded because the owner apparently saw this thread and posted about it on Facebook, staunchly defending these razors. Its worth a look if you want more information about them. He sells them for between $87-$120 depending on which one you get. Anyway, I think this is a check in the "for" column for these razors. This guy is pretty fanatical and knowledgeable about razors and I have bought razors from him in the past and always had good experiences with him. I'd be very comfortable buying one as a souvinerr from Dublin based on knowing this. Other opinions may vary obviously.

For the money you were considering, you could pick up a Boker King Cutter (maybe a few Euros more) or as already suggested, a Revisor.

there are some very decent vintage stainless blades on the Bay at the moment for about 20 euros more than your price bracket which come fully shave ready. Worth a look at least.

Edit: the reason I mentioned the above was OP asked primarily about stainless blades. Revisor razors are very good - I wasn't trying to discourage.

I have 3 razors now, a joseph, smith and son, a dovo and now a revisor. I just shaved with the revisor and Wow, Just Wow. If you go with the revisor you well not be disappointed. I had a week worth of growth and the blade just glided through it like nothing

It'll probably be another while before I get a new razor, need to decide exactly what I want
I'll probably get it as a reward for myself when I finish my course in 2 months
