    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.
