Thread: K Brand?

Can anyone tell me anything about "K Brand" razors? There's nothing in the library
about them, and google isn't helpful.

Thank you.

Never ever heard of "K Brand" razors. A photo of one might be helpful.

Here ya go, Bob. Truth to tell, I think it's a piece of junk. I may just relegate it
to the "for practice honing only" drawer.

Thanks for posting those photos. If I just went by the photos I'd never suspect it to be a RSO. I take it that it will not take an edge or keep it? If I ever see one I think I'll steer clear of it.

Looks to me like its full hollow, double shoulder with a scalloped spine. It could easily pass for a rebranded Solingen.

Any idea where it is made?

If Mark's is right , then Solingen, which is in Germany.

doesn't look like junk to me. I'd give it a shot.

With a little reading on the subject.

Yep. It will take an edge, but it fails after a single pass. I've re-honed it twice, and the same thing
happened each time.

I regret that I don't speak French. Would you mind translating at least the gist of it?

Thank you all!
