Thread: Current straight razor manufacturers

Hi all,

After much looking I can't find a list of the current manufacturers of quality straight razors, can anyone point me in the right direction? Other than Dovo and TI I can't find any (except for a recent start up in the USA - Hart steel). Are there any others out there?

Boker, Wacker. There are probably a few others.

Boker is also a highly regarded maker of straights

Boker offers Straight razor for all requirements.

any idea who manufacturers fromm? I've come across those on Amazon.

Stay away from Fromm. If you're looking for a less expensive razor, look at the classified section on this site.

Thanks for the warning

Fromm straights used to be good once upon a time. Now they are not good.

Is Revisor still making razors?

My Revisor is my best razor. My wife bought it for me NOS for Xmas. I have W&B's, TI's, all sorts of DDs, Bokers, Wackers, Pumas, Twins, Fillies, Cmons, Torrey's, Rodgers, Dovos, and the Revisor owns them all.

Just my opinion of course.

I think Revisor are still making blades. Wacker are too, and DOVO and Boker, and I think Henckels still do a few basic blades as well. I seem to recall seeing some newer C-MONs as well, but I might be wrong there.

I remember reading that the newer Henckels and C-MONs arent a patch on the old ones, so its probably better to go for an oldie if you can find a good one..!

I've heard that more than once. They do look nice, don't they?
