    I don't know.....they don't look like quality blades (more like knock-offs) and for $55 USD I don't think it's worth the risk. You could pick up a quality already honed razor from a member here for less!

    I would pay DA prices, but not $50+. $39 w/ free world wide shipping is tempting. But you know what they say, if it sounds too good to be true....

    To be honest I took on one of these razors as a "challenge to hone" awhile back,,, IIRC one of our members here had one given to him as a gift from his lady friend... I got a shaving edge out of it, but as Dave and Jim said "at that price point you can do way better"...

    This was kind of my very own assumption...

    If you sell them you can even get your own private label on them. Wow! Now, that changes everything.

    They feature Lynn's video on their site: http://www.venusworldwide.com/lynn_shaving_low.wmv

    Just wonder what Lynn has to say about this.

    The Pakistanis have made a move on we ignorant American infidels. They figure if they make the price $55.00 instead of $5.50 we will think it is something other than the piece of crap it is. It is a good marketing ploy for the unwise. I hope you didn't buy one.

    Here is a question for all to ponder. How many Pakistani razors can be made with a surplus Russian destroyer?

    This is amazing.

    I have written them several times telling them to desist and they ignore it.

    No way would I ever endorse products like these.

    Anyone know a good international Attorney who works on contingency?

    WOWZA!!

    Well, you can't just tell them to desist, you have to tell them to cease too
