    I have heard the people are getting good/passable shaves off of these blades, which are all chinese/probable chinese:
    Double Arrow
    Sanguine Coolcut 2
    Fromm
    Never used them, and I'm no expert. But if you start looking around here you'll find that people who have tried them find they work (and in some cases are even good), though YMMV.
    If you're on a slightly larger budget, a Wapi or cheap Dovo may be better though.
    Otto Fromm Cutlery is an old German brand brand - Fromm International now own the Fromm brand and also Illinois Razor Strop Co. A few years ago Fromms were still being made in Germany and brought to the U.S.

    I asked a contact in Germany and he said the handles looked authentic but he has never seen a razor done like this. He asked me to find out who is marketing it. Where did it show up?

    Compare the lines. This is one of the stainless generics circulating. Grab it! This is a top of the line blade.

    "original solingen germany" sounds like what an urdu speaking maker would say in english to try to fake a german razor.

    it's made in the original solingen, not the new one? cmon! any legit solingen generic would have a better english tang stamp than that.

    I would think if it's made in Germany it would say made in Germany. Sometimes they just put germany or Solingen and the item is manufactured elsewhere and then imported into that region and certain operations are performed on it there and oaala it becomes a Solingen blade.
