Thread: Here's what a $3,200 Razor Looks like

If I got drunk enough to get that, my experience tells me I'd use it a few times, look at it and say "meh", throw it in a drawer and surprise myself when I find it in 2020. At that point I'd feel stupid, list it here for $900, and be done with it. I just can't perceive of any shaving edge that's worth that much unless after I was done shaving it automatically trimmed my nose and ears, cleaned itself off, dried itself off, gave me a massage and a smile, and went away.

If nothing else, it would be good to show the wife: "But dear, my razors only cost [insert standard $50 to $250 razor here]...so we're saving money, see?"

As Jimmy pointed out... Its a time honored tradition to put an item up for insanely high prices, to make your more affordably price items look like a great bargain. You would be both stunned, and saddened if you know how often this works.

But, Caveat M-tor!

So $3200 at today's exchange rate would equate to......

Me either being single again or very badly bruised with no credit and or bank card if I bought that

This one made me laugh

They sell for 1000-1300 NOS in Japan he just buys and resells with some pretty ridiculous mark ups.
I got two Iwasaki Tamahgane, one NOS and one with minimal use for less than half he sells this one.

you also will be stunned if you found out that a 500 usd razor was actually purchased of 50-100 usd at an auction. I guess if the name is in kanji all of a sudden the razor has magical properties.
