This process is followed with annealing at 300 degrees centigrade to impart sufficient flexibility and eliminate brittleness.

I wondered if that was still true after seeing this Dovo video at 1:19?
YouTube - Making DOVO Straight Razors

Seems about right that they would be legit TI's at that price. On par with the AOS TI's last I checked.

Good eyes...
I cannot tell if they dip the razor in molten salt or molten lead
in the video. However it may not mater.

This may be interesting to read.

Both molten lead and molten salt can be used
but the temp and timing will differ.

In some ways this is like discussions on the making
of french frys. In the end the professionals have an
advantage with larger and more powerful fryers and
better temp control. Then there are discussions about
the best fat to fry in.....

Exactly the models that showed up, straight forward TI razors.. In and on the Naniwas, took a sweet edge and done :D
Nice to know there is another source for TI razors, and BTW I got my Catalog TY Greg all kinds of cool stuff in there...

It seems I need to get my eyes checked. I never noticed this thread before, and I never noticed razors in the Lehman's catalog before.

Thanks for putting the time and money into testing one Glen.

LehmansGreg: If you can talk to the copy writers for the website, they'd probably do well to state that the razors are made by TI, as long as there is nothing preventing them from doing so.

As I recall on the old yahoo SR forum, several of the members back then picked up these razors as they were selling for less than Dovo's. Reviews were pretty good as well. Frankly, I surprised no one else here seems to recall that, or perhaps they are like me and tend to lurk on this site rather than post... Anyway, everything old is new again and I'm glad the dust has been blown off of Lehmans in regards to the razors they sell.

The link to the razors/clippers/scissors is hard to spot, but it's there up the top, once you click on the personal grooming tab.
I've been eyeing off quite a few items on that site. As I can afford to, I will be buying a few things from them.
