Carl Schlieper made great razors. I have got 2, one of them is the sharpest razor I own, almost too sharp for comfort!

German Eye is a perfect example of how some razors that are hyped up go for huge prices and others that are unknown but of equal quality can be had for a song. German Eye razors are the equal of a High Class Puma.

Hey Kees, Ithink the quote you have at the bottom of your post actually belongs to Jesus.
Sorry about being off topic.

There is my Carl Schlieper. It is very good razor with sonorous and elastic steel. It requires very careful shaving - very easy to cut yourself, but I very like this razor.

I contacted the modern Schlieper company recently - I emailed a representative in Solingen - in German - asking if there was a company historian or long time employee whom I could speak to about the company's razor related history. Sadly however all I learned is that the brand name is now owned by Friedrich Olbertz, a pocket knife manufacturer, and that no one at that firm knows anything about Schlieper's Rasiermesser days. A shame as they are fine razors!
