I was disappointed to hear they are getting parts over sea’s and sent them an Email here is the response
The move to overseas production was not an easy decision, but the current business model is becoming less and less sustainable. The work we provide to US machine shops is a very small piece of their business. Its very unlikely any jobs will be affected there. To my knowledge, they are covered up and some even expanding. There are still US manufactured parts available in our store, and we are still open to US manufacturing. Some customers have been asking for sets in different metals, which I think will marry nicely to US production.

So am I!  

By "global" you have to assume it's China.

Being able to sell the razor for $100 less has benefits to both ATT and potential customers. Smart move in my book.

It says $144 for polished SS Windsor. $72 for Aluminum. The new prices are 25% less than previous releases.

the Calypso SB90 Polished Aluminum Windsor Pro is pretty nice looking. I might pick one up.

I'm looking at the prices US competition is charging, see Carbon, Blackbird and H&S prices for high polished machined SS razors ($220-$250).

These look excellent! Honestly a bit disappointed with the production move as ATT was one of the companies that paved the path of machined high-quality razors made in the USA that I'm still on. In many ways they created this market and I deeply respect what they've built and I recommend them to customers all the time. Moving production overseas is a shame, but I guess they have to do what's right for their business.

You could also buy a fully polished stainless steel Dart, machined in the USA for $5 cheaper than this offering.

Oh I have . The Dart is a steal in my book.

I might be in the minority, but I would rather pay $200 for a razor made in the US than $145 for one made in China.
