I've used these Timor's; a friend gave me two to try, and they were pretty bad 
They pulled and tugged at my beard, and just didn't seem that sharp. I used the blade for three shaves and was pretty disappointed, it just wasn't a comfortable shave for me; but you may have a different result. Good luck.

I found the following information on the ShoeBox ShaveShop website (www.shoeboxshavesop.com):
"Giesen & Forsthoff is a old name in Solingen steel.
Known primarily for their quality straight razors, they have also had a long association with Timor.
These blades have been made since the 1920s. I'm not sure how or when they acquired the rights to the great old Apollo graphics but they have. As a vintage blade collector, Jeeves is very excited to find the Apollo graphics resuscitated.
The current TIMORs are best quality Solingen stainless steel, machine honed to a Carpathian fang sharpness, teflon coated edge to deliver high-performance, durability and a smooth shave.
The plastic dispenser doubles as a blade bank for safe convienent storage and disposal.
10 blades per pack.
Use Pull-Down Menu to select quantity. The more you buy, the better the price.
1 x 10pk = $4.99, 5 x 10pk = $22.45, 10 x 10pk = $42.42"
As you can see they are not cheap!!
