Kwb knives
I'm curious about this knife / razor maker based in the UK.
If anyone has experience with this company, and the razor's produced, I would be interested to hear your experience.
The razors are gorgeous, but the price point seems pretty reasonable. It seems those two don't usually go hand-in-hand, if the razor is a good one.
I was also not sure if I can put a company name in here, so if that is a No-No I apologize in advance.

I have no experience with them but I think this is a knife maker that wants to sell razors.
Who puts a razor in a knife sheath?:shrug:

Love the mini razor. But I haven’t a clue if it’s any good.

I have no experience with them but I am always a bit leery of knife makers turning to making razors. That said, after having a look at his site a couple of things strike me at first glance. They are that the bevels seem awfully wide for a razor, the pinning at the pivot of the mini Damascus is not impressive to me and there appears to be a heel hook on the Japanese style cut throat razor example. OTH they may shave perfectly well for all I know.

Thank you for your input. I am not knowledgeable, whatsoever when it comes to what to look for. It wasn't that long ago that I started straight shaving, with a gold dollar being my first razor. After finding the forums I picked up some straight razors from the classifieds on the site. I have a major itch to buy one really nice razor(for now) and want a good performer, but would love some Aesthetics. So anyone that has suggestions, I'm all ears

Looks like a few good strop killers there :p I'd pass.
Regardless of cosmetics a razor needs to be maintainable & ergonomic to use or you're dead in the water.
We have some vendors here that can actually make a razor. Have a long browse thru the Vendors forum & start making some pm's. You'll land on your feet

Great and powerful has spoken! :D
Look at the BST as well. Good stuff always coming-up.

Lots of points on those razors that could eat up a strop. If you want odd shapes and beautiful work, Bruno does different stuff often. Victor makes razors ground to the maximum possible. Bluesman is Victor but I dont remember what Brunos is called. Go with someone that has experiance and not just starting out. It will cost you, but you will get a fine tool that will last many lifetimes.

Maybe I'm not seeing it but It looks like they only put there kwb logo/stamp on the scales. Shouldn't a blade maker put there logo on the blade?

World's Greatest Boss, Michael Scott, resembles my reaction to these razors:
