Thread: Why do lots of crappy razors go for so much?

How do you define "crappy razors" ? As far as going for so much, if it is a "hot" item, such as some of the Fillys or Ducks ........ well, that is a matter of what people are talking up on the forums. Some of them like the Wonderedge, Reaper, Barbra Duras, W&B FBU take on a mystique that creates high demand. I've gotten obscure Sheffields and Solingens that shave as good as any of the aforementioned hot items at very good prices.
