Thread: John Williams Damascus Steel - Authentic?

Just acquired this razor. The only etching on the razor says John Williams Damascus Steel. Scales seem plastic. I disinfected them in ethyl alcohol and they started smelling something like acetone.

Anyway the thing is, the blade is obviously not damascus but plain shiny steel with no patterns, and I'm wondering whether this thing will provide a decent shave or if it's just a knockoff? There is no info on this brand online. Does anyone know of John Williams razors, and are they any good? Thanks for any help!
