Notice the Sharp Bola...Here's a shot of an old Super-Max Bola I have had awhile.Looks like Super-Max is a Bangladeshi company,not Indian.

Interesting, Malocchio. I like Treet blades from Pakistan, so I wouldn't rule these out for being from Bangladesh. I just scanned the websites quickly, so perhaps for that reason I didn't see what they mean by "Swiss Quality." We have had 7 am and Sharp blades available in the US for some time, but they were never very highly regarded in these forums. Squire rated the 7 am at 6.5, which is decent, and the Sharp at 6. In the meantime, it looks like the company has added more variety to its offerings and it makes me wonder if quality and performance have seen any improvement.

I already have enough favored blades to last way beyond my lifetime, even in the best of circumstances, so I won't be testing them myself. They might be worth the consideration of wetshavers still involved in avid testing of new products, however.

According to company ads,they are using British machinery on Swiss steel to produce these blades...

Oh what the hey, I'd like to try them.

[malocchio]

I also want to try them,in fact,I would like to try all their blades,but only the Sharp shows up for online sales at various places.

If Malocchio wants to try them, I want to try them.

swiss quality?
I see them make the statements of swiss quality, but the thing is,,,,,,

English machines, and "swiss" steel does not make swiss quality.

For some reasoning the packages and names look funny in a not so legal way

The British were there,could have left the machines,or they could have purchased machines formerly used in Britain.Steel could be from Eskilstuna...If you want real "made in Sweden" blades you can always find the greats here: http://www.tradera.com/search?q=rakblad&categoryId=0
