    Never heard of "ice tempered" blades.

    Ya never heard of ice but I do know that nitrogen is used to harden engine blocks in extreme builds. So why not ice for razor blades:happy088:

    I've never heard of a VDH razor. As for the "ice tempered" blades, I think they're imported from Iceland. :D

    With a little Google-fu, I'm leaning more towards Geisen & Forsthoff rebranded razor and blades.
    Blades are Timors.

    I'll give this a plus one. The Amazon listing says the blades are made in Germany (as Timors are). Derbys are Turkish.

    I, for one, will pass on the outstanding outlandish price of $27.98 for a 5-pack of their blades!
    Although, to their credit, they do say it qualifies for free shipping.
    Makes you wonder who's doing the pricing when the razor that includes a 5-pack of blades is only $23.

    I think they mean five 5 packs. The per unit price is 1.12 which seems about right. I have to say first, that is still too expensive, and second, they really need to re-write that as it basically says a five pack for $28, which is nuts.

    Yup, I came to the same conclusion.

    Wow. Maybe we'll see those in stores. If I do I'll buy one just because I can't really remember a safety razor hanging on a peg in a store. It could be the shavepocalypse... in reverse :)

    Weishi? so what's the verdict then if it is? while not a murkur, is the weishi/ VDH razor worth looking in to for the amazon price?
