Genco, Geneva Cutlery, J.R. Torrey, H.M. Christensen, J. Wiss & Sons, to name a few US made razors that I have and tried....all excellent shavers, all reasonably priced, except the Genco Easy Aces.
I have to agree with thebigspendur about US made razors being underrated. Most folks mainly go for the Solingen and Sheffiled razors and overlook the US made razors which are of equal or in some cases better quality.....Made in the USA means quality!"If You Knew Half of What I Forgot You Would Be An Idiot" - by DoughBoy68

Have to say, The S&C razor was likely made in Germany! American steel is, in fact, great!

Yep. Then there is a Case around here somewhere which has 'Made in Germany by Experts' on the tang! Whichever way the wind blew, WR was sniffing it out!

I'm glad U.S. blades are still relatively cheap and I can buy plenty. My favorite being JR Torrey since I live in the Worcester, MA area. I also buy any other razor that tickles my fancy, but the price has gotta be right.

How come do you think my strutz and clutto was made in germany? My macon county shear company blade has the company name and location, but it says made in Germany. My strutz has Chicago stamped on the tang. The records show a company named strutz and clutto making barber supplies in 1921 in chicago. I wouldnt thinkany sane person would still be importing german blades after world war one Originally Posted by sharptonn
