It seems recently there has been an influx of new brands of safety razors, being introduced. They all seem to be at the under $50 range.Many are being touted to be made with brass like old ones.
At their attractive price point, are they a better choice then the standard i.e. Merkur, Parkers etc.
Would one could conclude that with new brands of razors being introduced,that traditional wet shaving is becoming more popular.
Anyone have any thoughts?

It seems most of the brands all are coming from the Cadet factory in India. They all appear to be of very good to excellent quality and shave very nicely. Also we have some stainless steel razor makers including ATT(Above The Tie), Tradere, Weber, Feather and iKon. This is fantastic news for us wet shavers who prefer a single blade razor. Not too mention all the straight razor shavers that is on the rise.
Great for us and great for the vendors and artisans. Let me not forget the single edge razor Classic Cobra which is part of the mix.

All of us who enjoy wet shaving know that it has many positives and not a few simple pleasures. I think a growing number of people realize that doing everything fast is not necessarily doing it well. Wet shaving will grow because of this and I think the world will be a bit better for it. As a result of my enjoyment of wet shaving, I put away an electric coffee grinder and now hand grind my morning coffee just for the joy of doing the work myself.

Perhaps but I think many of the new "brands" are made by the same factory. Still though...that indicates a demand.
