Who makes what?

We pretty much know what Gillette makes, including the Indian version of Wilkinson blades. And I found out that Dorco makes the razors and blades for Dollar Shave Club. The Dorco blades fit just about all of their cartridge razors, but don't fit anyone else's.
If I remember right, the Van Der Hagen and the "As Seen on TV!" Micro One-Touch DE razors are really the common Weishi TTO. Some of RazoRock's razors are the same as some Baili (Chinese) razors - the DE1, Teck II, and maybe others. And their double open comb razor is supposed to be the same as one of the Yaqi razors.
I just figured out that Ming Shi makes the Shaving Factory TTO with the "scallops" in the head near the blade.
But I'm still wondering who makes Harry's razors. And I just discovered that Amazon has a private brand called Solimo that includes razors. The fitting on one I saw in a photo looks like a Sensor or maybe a Hydro, but it might not be compatible with either, just like the Hydro is not compatible with the Sensor.
Does anyone know who makes Harry's, and who makes Solimo? From what I read, there's a good chance Solimo is made in India.
By the way, the Solimo got a lot of negative reviews, mostly along the lines of "I have to go over areas many times to remove hair, and then I get skin irritation - it's not as good as Mach 3/Hydro/Dorco - it's cheaper, but you get what you pay for."
