    Default Question on new find

    I ran across a brand of razors suposedly made in Solingen and really well priced called Giersen and Forsthoff. Any one know anything about this company. They look good in the pics and the add says they have been in business for a long time. Thanks, Mack

    Are you sure it isn't a Giesen & Forstoff? I have a vintage one, they only recently went back into producing open razors.

    Giesen & Forsthoff Yep. You are right. I copied this and pasted it from the site. Sorry for the typo.

    The old vintage Giesen & Forstoff are ok, the new ones are not so good i have heard. The old ones keep longer a good edge, the new ones have more problems whit this.
