Well we could still tour the Revisor factory, go to the flea markets, and maybe visit a few beer halls.

Revisor Factory? Hope i dont disappoint you but they have no factory, there just a couple of old masters and grinding Bachelors producing Razors as a Reminiscense to keep the Solingen Heritage alive, but they have no factory, they have a big workshop without public admission and no storeroom. But the guys a very cool and theyre doing their best, i hope and wish them that they can keep theire business alive as long as possible, it would be a gigantic miss if they have to clos their workshop some day.
But there are a couple of fine Museums displaying all kinds of cutlery work, especially a big Blacksmiths shop where scissor (and a few Razor) Blankets had been produced and a very old grinding Mill from the 1700s.

The Revisor workshop sounds like a great place to work. They have quite a collection of rarities. Are there still beer gardens over there? In any event, it sounds like a nice place to visit.

Well, could be that there are some Beer Gardens, but Solingen isnt a place that is well known for that so i dont know if there are some good. But Beer Gardens are very common in Germany so i guess that it will dont least a long time to find one in the sourroundings of solingen, a lovely Landscape with hills, woods and creeks.
