    Question Q: Empire razors fake?

    I found a seller on e-bay (uk-based) who sells NEW straight razor sets 24 euro's (razor and strop). The razors are called Empire UK razors, company is Imperial razors. eBay My World - imperial-razors

    My ITS FAKE alarmbells went off and wanted to check with you guys. If so perhaps to add it to the -avoid- list?

    (for instance thay have a 99% happy consumer record, 1 costumer said he could not sharpen it, all the other just mention a quick delivery and i mean ALL the others)

    I have no personal experience with these, but I saw that one of the feedbacks from a razor auction was "i wasnt able to sharpen this.is it meant to be ornametal?"

    Looks like a kriegar. My brother has even bought one, what a mess.
    Would say avoid the so-called cheap razors.

    Go to the classifieds if you want to buy a cheap but good razor . Good stuff and you are sure they are ready to shave
