Thread: FYI, Imitaion Razors

Well I guess I have arrived, I was looking at a razor site and found an imitation of my work. They say "imitation is the sincerest (form) of flattery" but in this case it is just kind of sad, I do not really feel flattered.

I just want to put an FYI out there that these razor shaped objects have nothing to do with me. I am still selling my work exclusively through Straight Razor Designs.

Wow. They even copied the box design.

wow what a bunch of jerk offs

sick society we all live in unfortunatly

Good thing we all have SRP! lol

It's sort of funny. I mean, in a sick sort of way, congratulations.

How are they marking them?
Have you talked to them about it?

What bothers me is, they named their "Japanese designed" razor after my wife.

Huh how weird! are they coming out of China?

I just noticed on their web page that they offer full blade restoration for any blade in any condition.

"Any blade any condition $79.99 full professional blade restoration.
We will Clean, Strip, Grind, Buff, Polish, Set the Bevel, Hand Hone and Strop your vintage blade from start to finish for $79.99.
We have finished thousands of blades and have years of combined professional experience with straight razor restoration and care.
Why pay more for less? Trust your blade to a VSRR (Vintage Straight Razor Restoration) expert."

Feels like a load of crap considering what they are passing of as razors. Fun reading though.

Thank you guys for your support, it is greatly appreciated.

I do not want to tie up the vendors forum with my business, so I am going to let this thread die unless there are direct questions.

The razors are being sold under the GB Buckingham & Sons name.

No, I have not talked with them. I think it would be a fruitless exercise in frustration.

I am sorry about the name.

I am sure when the said "Japanese designed" they meant design by a "Texas curmudgeon"
