Not sure how many, if any at all, will be posted here, but since Admiral Beez posted about non China razors, why not. This includes all types of razors, TTO, Three Piece, Straight, etc............
The Baili is a nice little TTO. It has good heft and is a good mild razor. I piffed mine, but I may just get another.
The Mehaz is decent as well. It is claimed to be made in Solingen Germany, but has all the hallmarks of being made in the Chinese Weishi factories.
It looks good, and I also saw that it's supposed to be made in Germany. It does cost more than the others above, in the $20.00 - $30.00 range and sellers are all from here in the US.
Although the Long Feng is plastic, light and just feels "cheap"... It is a fantastic shaver! I highly recommend it.
saw a review on an aluminum one at B&B, but haven't seen the plastic one. I'll keep looking for it though. Oh the aluminum one had a good review.
Weishi razors are made in a wide range of quality. It depends on how much the customer is willing to spend on QC checks. Their own brand of razors are mostly low quality, meant for Chinese and third world use. Higher quality examples of Weishi razors include the Micro Touch One, the Van der Hagen razor and the Mehaz. ...higher quality is a relative term, of course. Any vintage Gillette twist to open razor is a higher quality razor than the best razors coming out of Weishi.
I apologize. I made a mistake quoting the razor name. The Long Feng is a metal razor. It provides a decent shave, but not as good as the plastic razor I was referring to. I don't know why I made that mistake?? The plastic razor I was referring to is (I think) a copy of the Gillette Click. I would post pics, but apparently this site is different than other forums I've been to. I will have to learn how to post pics here.
Yeah, their metal razors had decent reviews. And I think I might have seen the plastic ones a while back on Ebay.
I hear the Gold Dollar straights will take a nice edge. I've got a couple on the way but it's a slow boat from China. Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
