No, I didn't checked it...
Hmmm... Maybe that's the reason, that it gives a slight "glow" to my face after using it?...

Actually the Brand is called "CAT"

Looks to me like the scales are marked "DPRK" which would mean democratic peoples republic of Korea which is south. I lived there for a year. I could be wrong considering what the other markings are said to mean.

North = DPRK = Democratic People's Republic of Korea
South = ROK = Republic of Korea

You'd think it would be the other way around, though.

Um, Bulldog-DPRK is North Korea (not trying to be a smark-aleck, but the most brutal dictatorships often have the most egalitarian-sounding names: "Democratic" this or "People's" that). I didn't know they manufactured anything besides hot air and counterfeit US $100 bills (and maybe hair pomade and platform heels for "The Great Leader"-what a freakshow!).

As I live in Hungary, which was a Kommunist Dictatorship before 1990, I know, that "Democratic People's Republic" actually means, that the Country have a Dictatorship, or it's a Kommunist country.

Before 1990 the official "title" of Hungary was Peoples Republic of Hungary, so belive me, it's from North Korea...

The Kitty Razor is very fine, got mine today and i guess it will be a good shaver :-)

These can occasionally be found on eBay. I believe there was one up a few weeks ago.
