It's stainless, it rusts, blah blah blah. End of the day I would bet they sell more straight razors than every other maker combined. Beefy razor that can be had for cheap. The only objection I get is it's from china. And some people prefer to buy their goods from elsewhere. That I get. But the rest of it is baloney. My first razors were vintages and several new. I stood away from gds because of the advice I got. But bought 10 anyway. And managed to prove to myself (you have to believe your own eyes) that they can easily be made to shave with the best of them. Now most pricey straight have lot of frills. Like gold wash, fancy scales, etching. Which are nice things to have but have absolutely nothing to do with shave quality. Like a paint job ever won any race anywhere. Anyway just calling it the way I see it.
Right on, Bill. Pretty don't shave.
