Is that possible?

[ShaveAddict]

I was looking on a shave products site, and they have what they call a Merkur "plastic" safety razor.
Is that possible that Merkur makes plastic safety razor?
Here's the picture and the link, look at the bottom of the page:http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://everystrokecounts.com/pics/198.jpg&imgrefurl=http://everystrokecounts.com/Double_Edge_Razors.html&usg=__HfTWyOoa_gxvSRcLmX3fcpxoTf8=&h=841&w=1134&sz=668&hl=fr&start=50&um=1&tbnid=9tXfsP_BRdqSfM:&tbnh=111&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dslant%2Brazor%26ndsp%3D21%26hl%3Dfr%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-USfficial%26sa%3DN%26start%3D42%26um%3D1

Interesting. I've never seen that before.

It looks a bit like a Fasan but i dont know if it's really made by Merkur.

awhile back on the bay I found an asian made version of this in green...meh..the item I found was shipping from Thailand and it was only starting @ $.99 ..lol!

Interesting. Never heard of such a thing. What is the wet shaving world coming to?

I guess we'll have to wait until someone tries on of these things out. I think its a step backwards.

I dont know if they have the right to call it a Merkur if it is in fact not a Merkur.

I would have bought it.

Except when I add it to the cart, the price shows up as $121.50

I tried to add it also and it show up at 121.50$, kind of weird, they show it at 8$ on the page
I just sent them an email to know if it's really made by Merkur in Germany, and to know why the razor is list at 8$ and when you add it in the cart it end up to be 121$.

I just sent an email to the fellow behind the web site. Hopefully it will be corrected soon.

Looks like they don't answer really fast , i haven't got an answer back from them yet.

 

[DunEdinRanger]

Same here.

That THING makes me sick, its not enough to throw away 1.50 every week on dispossables, now plastic is a throw away bargain at 121.50 a week

 

[ShaveAddict]

I just contacted Dovo, asking if it's really Merkur who make that razor.

 

[Crawford Montizano]

It just looks like the links are mixed up with Merkur Vision.. an easy fix if you ask me.

My guess its a fake. Same stuff happens in the golf world. A asian company sells name brand stuff at cheap prices only to find out they were cheap for a reason, they were fakes with the trademark name. They are not really fast to shut these operations down and when they do they just start up a new website. Be very careful when ordering anything from a asian company, funny thing is though so much of it is made there

JMHO

The guy from the website contact me today,
he said it was a mistake and that he doesn't have anymore those razors.
But he didn't said if it was really made by Merkur so i guess it was a cheap china razor.
