The AIC razor is a great example of a "No Frills" razor. The steel and grind are excellent. It is equal to my Genco's and Robeson's.
They show up occasionally on the bay. But I don't think they are as common as the other brands.
Cattaragus and Clauss are makers that I am on the look out for nice examples of.
These "working man" razors are some of my top shavers. Ken

Thank you! I usually schlep along a whole range of straights and soaps but it was getting too much AND I always have to check the bags in.
IPL or 20/10 is the only cricket I watch - tests are too long and boring. One-Day internationals is a maybe. The teams are then forced to PLAY hard!!
