I can't find reviews for this TTO razor other than from buyers on Amazon. Is it a re-branded Weishi? Has anyone bought one? Looks like they are charging $33 for a $9 razor.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
For the razor, currently we have 2 manufacturing factories running at full capacity: one in Pakistan and one in China. One more will be opened soon in Japan for another model. The razor blades are made in and imported from Sweden.
Net weight is about 70g (or 2.45 oz)
Length is 3.74"

It's basically the same as the Jagen David B40

I shaved with the Rose Gold version this morning - I like it even better than I like my Weishi 9306CL - And I love my Weishi 9306CL

IMHO, if I were you I'd do some number crunching and either buy a Baili BD17 or a Jagen David B40 - whichever has the best price for the razor and the deal on shipping
I just happened to prefer the rose gold finish, but the chrome is probably just as good
Question:does anyone know where these are made?

And if you believe that, I have land in the Volcano District of Hawaii Island to sell you that is guaranteed to double in 10 years.
So according to what the Viking folks wrote on the Amazon site, the Baili TTO and Tech clone are cheap Chinese clones of THEIR razors. However the Viking are made of quality material and has a lifetime warranty.

Sorry, but what they say is true. They own the patent.
Best damn razor I ever owned and I got it for $19.99 on sale during Christmas. There is literally not another one like it.
Sorry, but what they say is true. They own the patent. But more convincing is the fact that I ordered a Baili to replace my beloved Vikings Blade Chiefton that fell on my tile floor, and while they certainly LOOK identical, the closer you examine them, the more differences you notice in manufacturing. Also, the Baili simply does NOT shave like the Vikings Blade. I am too cheap to pay the $33 to replace my Vikings Blade but I sure do miss it.

1) The Viking razors do have their own branding on them. They could have ordered the razors from China with slightly different specifications.
A patent on a DE razor? Since 1985? Other razors are clone of theirs?
