This is the first I’ve seen of them. Seems pretty pricey for “chrome plated zinc”. Lots of options out there I’d go with before them for that $$

I think Personna blue are the only blades made in America so that must be what they’re selling. $13 for 50 is pretty high for those as well. Blackland sells them for around $16 for 100.

IMO, $60 seems a bit high for a zinc razor.

If the chrome plating is good quality I don't see a reason why it won't last a good long time. There are less expensive options, to be sure, but if you're interested in supporting a U.S. company it might be an option.

I have one and like it a lot. Although, in the interest of being intellectually honest, I have nothing to compare it with. My introduction to the resurgence of wet shaving, DE safety razors, brushes etc. was courtesy of a radio interview that David Angelo gave to a Boston-based talk show host. Having stopped purchasing Gillette products a year or so before, I decided to do some research. The reviews and videos all seemed positive so I decided to forgo the low end route and give the High Noon a try. I also liked the idea of buying a USA manufactured razor. After approximately 5 months of daily use, it still looks brand new

The gentleman who is Owner/Partial Owner of Western is sort of reqular on Fox's Gutfeld Show, he is apparently also Colmic.

Never seen his product, but the guy get a lot of FREE Advertising on the Fox show.

Think if I was going to spend $60.00, maybe a purchase Fromm Italian Barber's like GameChanger would be better option for $55.00+.

My work has afforded me the opportunity to travel widely in the north of Italy and I have great respect for their non-automotive manufacturing prowess. I've also made some lifelong friends. This is why the first shaving soap I purchased was Poraso. Nevertheless, I will tell you they they can exhibit just as much economic nationalism as we do. So, given a choice between keeping a working stiff like me employed in the USA or keeping a working stiff like me employed in the Po Valley or Tuscany, I'll choose the former.

If I'm reading this right, it seems you believe that the Razorock razors are made in Italy. Even though the razors are sold exclusively (?) by Italian Barber, they are actually located in Canada, and the razors are made in Canada.

Yes, up until now, I thought they were made in Italy. As the saying goes, you learn something new every day. Thanks for the information.
