Any razor Mfg in Asia
What do I need to pick up on my next business trip to Asia...I will be going to:
Singapore
Malaysia
Shanghai
Beijin
New Dehli
Are there any good straight razor manufacturers out of one of these countries?

Moved this to the Razors forum for some more visibility. To answer your question, there might be good stuff in India but otherwise I'm not really sure.

Sounds very cool. Hit the antique stores/markets for vintages would be my strategy.

Bad news: Being subjected for decades to the humidity in both of those places has probably turned them all into rusted junk.
But I'd be looking anyway. Hope springs eternal. Let us know how it goes!
