BTW, I seem to be taking the position as "defender" of these razors. If anyone can clearly point out that they are made out of tin/aluminum, have a radioactive half-life or anything objective to prove their inferiority, I'm just as happy to find out about it as the next guy. I'm not interested in working on and hawking junk razors. But as for now they seem to me to be as good as most any other.

Of course basic opinions are valid too, as Alex posted above. Some folks just may not like them. That's how I feel about most 5/8 carbon roundpoints...go figure
