    the Ritchie and Stewart guide seems to give huge values to american steel razors (and relatively low valuations to solingen razors).

    Haha, I'd like to think my Kinfolks had some input to this conclusion?
    I put it in the rotation but it keeps getting pulled out every other time instead of every 4th time.

    Old thread, but I'd like to add a "hell yes" to Glen's sentiment.

    Some of my best shavers are American made. Back when that actually STOOD for something, and people in this country took pride in their work...

    From what I've seen here on SRP, there are still some Americans who take pride in their work.

    I think they are the exception, not the rule. As a whole, the quality of american workmanship isn't so highly looked upon in the global community in a cost vs quality assessment.

    It wasn't always that way, but it is now.

    Are Ritchie and Stewart Americans, by any chance?
