Thread: Here's to the "Nobody's"

While many in our obsession, err, enthusiasm, long for blades such as the Filarmonica, Dubl Duck, Wade & Butchers, TI's,etc sometimes it's the "no name" brands that get overlooked.

Case in point, while I am lucky enough to own one of each of the above named razors, I find myself in love with, and preferring, some of the razors that never get any, or very little, SRP love. Last night I shaved with a frameback made by "R.Cardonnel". I have looked all over but have been unable to locate any information on this particular razor. Even though I know very little about the razor, I can unequivocally state it shaves better than any of the "big gun" razors. I have also had similar results with a few of my "hardware store" razors as well.




I guess this just shows that there really are 'diamonds in the rough' and that good deals can be had by all.

So I raise my glass to all the great shaving "Nobody" razors out there that are giving great shaves everyday!

Well said, I totally agree, and... they slip through, under the radar, on the auction sites.

I have or rather son #2 has a really great razor that is simply marked Sheffield. The other really great thing about these unknown champions is that they never cost much. I have not found any no name soaps that rock my world, but I keep trying.

A very valid point.
I have a few of them myself, and they win on two counts.
Price AND performance.
Love finding those gems

I agree there are many out there. Even some GD's I hear! But I guess I will stick to the known and if I ever get a chance to buy a real cheap "no name" I will give it a whirl and sing it's praises if it works out. Congrats!

I hear ya!

In my searches for an American made razor, I came across one of these. I was a skeptic at first because they are a relatively new company with little to no renown; I took the plunge. I haven't been disappointed yet!
