I bought a Three Kings Deluxe razor about a month back from ZethLent. He sharpened it for me with his natural Japanese stones and it took a very sharp edge. The paperwork from the factory included said that it was made in Tokyo from Swedish steel so I do not know where the Solingn comes from. Mine is a 302 while the one on the site is a 1968. The heels are different on the two blades. My blade is 13/16 and 3/4 hollow, but it does sing some when stropping.

As always YMMV, but I think you should like it if you are interested. I paid about $50 less than that one is listed for though.
