Only, that does not make any sense. Every Aust, and every Revisor I ever got were shave ready. Wacker? Hit and miss. Dovo? The cheap ones are machine made, and the expensive ones are an eyesore....

They do not. But worse than that, the dual educational system is going down the drain, too. This lack of on-the-job training might work if you want to whack together gluten free apps for uncouth...

C'mon Matt, this is a subforum for advanced, or even Wizard type kinda, users. We all know what pließten is. Or who made those #14 blanks...

Spot on. However, the Filli Feeding Frenzy highlights another obstacle if you want to establish yourself as a razor maker: Hype. Or, to be fair, recognition.

We have already established that in...

Actually, I can think of exactly two: Wacker (on a good day), and Revisor. Aust could probably do it, because he's got the skills and tools, but he doesn't make them, I think. And that's that. I...

No, Bob, you don't need talent, you need skills acquired through years of training. Talent is entirely optional. And in order to receive the required training, you need a trainer. And I don't mean...

I'll readily admit that my being German has an impact on my perception of quality. And there may even be something universal rather than hometown about it. Most favourite razors in this forum? Almost...

That is just speculation, but $200-250 would get you into competition with high(er) end Solingen razors. There are two things to consider:



Scales: At that price point, you would have to come...

Actually, more. But may I gently draw everyone's attention to the CNC robots used to produce the bottom end line of Dovo razors?

Price is not the issue here. Infrastructure is. Obtaining high quality etching is a non issue in Germany, but a non starter in the US - unless you invest heavily in a local infrastructure.

But...

No spelling mistakes. Aliquid semper haeret...

But yes, there are subtle nuances between beers made by fully trained brewers, let alone Braumeister, and amateur efforts. Same as with razors.

It is entirely safe to attribute it to a lack of tradition, training, and skills (cf http://goo.gl/rosxht). It is to Bier what costume razors are to vintage razors: loud, loutish, and pseudo elitist.

tl;dr: It is possible to make a living from selling razors.

Now for the details:


Blanks: Buy them from Herkenrath. Böker, Dovo, Wacker, Revisor (modern own brand), Aust, Koraat - they all...
