You can get the base unit with one lens for just over $100 and ad lenses latter or get it in a packaged set. I want a packaged set it may be a little over kill for just checking the edge on a razor but I plan on using it to teach my daughter about science and nature.

Read carefully -- the ones listed close to $100 are the 7+ year old models that don't run on Windows xp or later. (One is a $99 refurb with no lens; one is a $149 refurb with one lens). To get the modern version and just one lens, you are talking $270. I picked up a nice Veho for less than half, and it's been great for young kids (8 and 5), and way more than I need for a razor.
