Has anyone tried a 'Best Brand' straight razor? I bought two off ebay not realising they were that particular make. I'm assuming their one of the crap makes...there is no makers name on the tang.

There is nothing on the tang, maker or place of origin. I thought they might be the cheap ones...
I bought a strop and had two brand new Pakistani straights thrown in for free.
The Pakistani blades has some good points and some bad points to them.
Good point= You don't have to worry about cutting yourself with them.
You also don't have to worry about ever chipping the blade on one. FACT= you can almost put a 90degree bend in a cold blade without breaking it in a vise.
Bad point= Very hard to get an edge on blade , but if you are real good with a hone and spend countless hours on it, you can get a cutting edge that can match some of the cheaper made butter knives or spoons.
