    Default Cmon Blackie

    Are the new Cmon Blackie razors any good? I know the vintage Cmons have a following but wonder if the current generation is any good.

    Lamont, I don't think so, in fact the name has changed to بلیکی چلو

    Try a C-MON Cadillac. Pretty good bang for your buck when it is honed properly.

    From the threads I've seen the newer versions are in a different ballpark than the old ones.

    Great,
    I just bought one.
    So are the new knockoffs actual counterfeit, with a fraudulent stamp on the blade, or is it pretty easy to tell if it's a fake?

    mine says "peter j michels, brooklyn ny, made in germany"

    It looked vintage (old), but I haven't sharpened and shaved with it yet.

    I was always partial to the Ellicotville NY Blackies. By far the greatest shaves. Blade ground so thin you'd hear it poping from all the flexing.Who has that blade now I wonder..... Hmmmmmmm
