I don't think that Werner Breidenbach is still producing straight razors. He must be over 90 and as far as I know he retired. One of the last straight razor masters in Solingen.
 
Ed Brice no longer makes razors

Riviere Razors in south west france do tho, here's my custom, in the post.

Do you have contact information? That FB link is to someone else, I think. You, perhaps?
 
Great to keep adding to the list. Even though some may not be to my taste, I can’t help but be in awe of the skills these makers possess

You are right and I appreciate really that you work together with him to keep the Solingen style of grinding alive. I'm looking each and everyday at your website like a small boy through the windows of a candy shop.
 
There are also straight razors available under the brand name Puma. Not sure if this is the original company or someone who bought the right to produce under this brand name.
