I would assume that someone who makes blades that cannot be shaved with is more interested in the money than the sport. As a result, they will attempt maximize their profits. That means taking the cheapest route, which, typically, will not lead to a good product. It probably doesn't actually take them that much time to make the razors, given that they don't have to do so many of the things an actual razor-maker has to do in order to ensure the razor will shave. I am assuming, of course, that it is the making the razor shave well part that takes more time/effort/skill than the making a razor shaped object part.

These "razors" are made to appeal to knife buyers . They are made more like a knife than a razor . They are probably made in China , and are being sold from Germany . One thing you can be sure of is , that they're not being made by some guy pounding on an anvil , at his forge . These "razors" were not made to be used as razors , and I'm sure the people selling them never thought that there are people around that still shave with straight razors .

If beauty doesn't depend on functionality with a razor, when does it? If you want to see what damascus steel actually does to the cost and difficulty of making a razor nowadays, just go to eBay and do a search for "damascus billet". They can buy it and treat it like any other piece of steel - except that 52-53 Rockwell can't make a good razor, and they have probably never seen or handled one.
