I saw too as I was ordering my new Wapi. Looks like two new razors instead.

I have honed up a few of these and sold them to new guys in my area at cost. They have been well received.
Fit and finish are not the best but for $9 + shipping.........Randolph Tuttle, a SRP Mentor for residents of Minnesota & western Wisconsin

If you like full hollows, you'll like these razors. The scales are junk, but the grinding is surprisingly even and excellent! The tang alignment can be so-so.

The heel needs some modification, maybe taking out the stabilizer to get a thinner section there, but right now it won't cut hair right at the heel. I use the heel for trimming the edges of my goatee.
The rest of the shave was great though, minimal pulling, but smooth as silk for the most part. a couple of weepers, no cuts though
I can't wait to see what a wedge can do though.
