at least some of them in India - rebranded Pearl razors
Maybe some Chinese it’s been awhile that I looked at their site.
Which one are you interested in?

There are many Indian companies including Pearl and Romer.
Never heard of Romer, how is the build quality?
Somewhere cheap so they can maximize the profits on their poor quality overpriced knock offs.

There's a new one out that's an "homage" to the Edwin Jagger. Has a carbon Fiber knurled "wrap" on the handle.
Price is $26 which ought to be a flag but one never knows.
I think I'll just pass.
As an aside I wish some of these Internet shave gear reviewers would stop heaping praise on everything they review because everything is not wondrous.

And while I'm here...
Where are Vikings Blade razors made? The company's HQ is Australia but given the price point of their razors I suspect China or India.

Where are the bad reviews?! Those people often raise very good points that other either gloss over or are ignorant of.
I found this on their FAQ - "Beside our workshop in Australia, we have several partnerships with factories in Asia to create products based on our exclusive designs and proprietary specs."
It sounds like a Chinese operation to me. I feel like they would have said if they were partnered with a Japanese, South Korean, or Indian company.

In the event that I am looking for a budget Asian-made razor I'll consider Parker.
Look for Fatip Italy 100% brass razors: Piccolo, Grande & Lo Storto
great shavers, very fair pricing - Italian workmanship

Big +1 to this!
I wouldn't do business with Global Shave Club again!!! Just on a whim I ordered their Black Tiger. This is what showed up today. It looks used, the plating is failing and it's not all steel as advertised. Now I understand you get what you pay for but this *** took me by surprise.
I heard Indonesia, but I don't know for sure.
GSC only rebadges cheap garbage and sells it to the unsuspecting masses.
I see they released a "Red Tip" clone as well.
Its a local Indian company. Good quality razors not bad for the price. Nothing spectacular but definitely not junk.
