Run away...and dont look back
LOL I had the same reaction! I did a Google search on these razors and it turned up very little, which is a warning sign to me. 39 quid is a lot for a letter opener.... :wQuote:

The scales were a bit 'rough and ready' in finish, but more importantly they needed filing at the wedge end to let the blade sit in them - they originally held it up half-way.
The clearance of the scales at the pivot was wrong and the scales did not flex enough to hold the blade properly in all positions.
The blade was kinked along the spine and needed grinding to take the high edges off it to allow the bevel to sit on the hone.
The blade began to microchip around mid-grit hone range, and became increasingly jagged as honing proceeded. Eventually I changed to naturals, finishing on a coticule and the edge looked OK but chipped again during stropping. After dropping back to low grit hones three times in succession and finishing with the barest pressure was I able to get an edge relatively free of microchipping after stropping.
I informed the owner that the edge would probably not hold for half a shave - and it didn't. As it was a present from a loved one, it now resides in a case.
Perhaps they aren't all like this one, but somehow I doubt it.
