    Default Razor information?

    I recently purchased two razors. Does anyone know anything about these? History, quality or experience.
    Thank you in advance.

    Beyond saying that I've seen other Solingen razors marked Bohler steel I cannot tell you anything. I think that when they marked a razor with the type of steel they did it assuming it was a perk for sales. IOW, the quality was high because of the material.

    Can't tell you much about the maker but those are a fine looking pair of razors that look to be of good quality. If "Bohler Extra" refers to Bohler steel being used then it is good steel from a reputable company.
