Had to ditch my long beautiful beard and go back to wet shaving because of the times. Only kept a pretty badass full handlebar mustache that stops before my jawline. I'm a big fan of black and white truffles and needed a simple brushless cream and a razor to get me by as I'm on lockdown in the Virgin Islands staying in a beachside bungalow for the foreseeable future and all my wet shaving gear is back at my loft in Brooklyn. Figured I'd grab this set to get me through the next couple of weeks and then consider ordering more supplies depending on how long I think I'm here for. Very interested in what this "stainless steel" razor probably is and who made it. Never seen another like it. Ideas?

Obviously snake oil, but is it good snake oil? And more importunely who made this darn razor and is it decent? I do love picking up interesting razors.
PS- Got the set on sale privately for about $50 including some white truffle after shave balm too (down from $148, lol). Figure even if the razor is a piece of garbage I made out reasonably okay as compared to paying island prices for a five handle, some cartridges, a can of foam, and a plastic bottle of Brut (everywhere selling bay rum is shuttered).
