    I purchased my Bergische Lowe before the major price increase. At present. I think it's overpriced for what you get. It is a beautiful razor, though.

    As far as quality... I can only speak for mine. It needs a good honing right now, but the only problem I've had with it, and it is minor, is that there is a small amount of play, or wiggle, at the razor pivot pin. I tried tapping the pin with a small hammer and punch to tighten it, but it didn't work. I'll probably have to send it in and have some small washers inserted to snug it up. I don't like floppy straight razors.

    I have mine a few years and in addition to being a real looker I find it to be a great shaver. I've had no quality problems with mine. It just needed a good honing whenI got it.

    When I decided to take up straight razor shaving, I bought 3 razors. One was a TI 7/8th round point, one was a Dovo Renaissance, and the last was a Bergischer Lowe. The Bergischer Lowe is still a regular in my rotation(as are the other two),even now that I've added some fine vintage razors to my collection. Now that I've learned how to put a good edge on a razor the shaves have only gotten better, as this razor takes and holds a fine edge.
