Thread: Ummm.... No?

It's a beautiful razor but I think it over priced. I applaud them for not undervaluing their work but am I wrong to think it too much?

Well, value is in the eyes of the beholder now isn't it?
That is the very reason we don't do valuations on SRP.

So, while you might have an opinion on the value of that particular razor, based on it's design and/or maker, others might see it totally different.
Perhaps someone who has actually shaved with one would care to chime in?
I'd love to hear their take on it..

A maker or seller is free to price his razor as he wishes. The market will determine the valid selling price.

You're paying for the artist, not the materials.
You can collect all the materials, and that might not cost very much but then there's equipment, knowledge, and I'm sure a great deal of skill involved.
You, could finance it

The stamp on the "other" side of that tang, tells you who made that razor & why it's worth the asking price.
Fendrihan did not make that razor, they are selling it.

I'm not putting that pointy pointed thing to my face without some subtle "de-pointing" that is assuming Hirlau was going to send me one for tryouts.

I've been "spiked" enough already geez!

Definitely would have that muted, too pointy for me too.
If I get one Wade, you can test it.

Nobody here own one? Spend all your money on a $2K dubl duck razor or $600 brush, or maybe a $4900 Kamisori I was just looking at?

I agree about the pointyness. So many custom razor makers feel the need to take designs to such extremes that they end up making something that you might get if you asked a 14yr old to make something cool. They look fascinating and impractical at the same time.

Much as I'd like to own one of Max's razors, for that kind of money I'd want a unique one, made to my specifications. And that blade scares me.

But the stitching on the pouch is pretty good work for a bison. I suspect it's hard to sew with those hooves.

I've asked max about this, because these guys were spamming me.
They set that price so high because they are targeting the rich crowd.
