Thread: Just a comment looking for more comments.

This is just a comment but when I got into the hobby of straight shaving, collecting and refurbishing straights about 4 to 5 months ago. I thought it was going to make a nice relatively inexpensive hobby for someone with a low income to to enjoy I was purchasing razors on ebay occasionally for $3 to $7 dollars along with everyone else, don't get me wrong, I don't have any large collection by any means I do have 7 razors though.

It's a shame that in past month and a half some of the razors that I was purchasing for $3 to $7 dollars have more than doubled in price which I think is insane for a razor that needs at least 4 hours work and maybe new scales. if you figure a minimum of $15.00 per hour thats $60 dollars and then an auction price of $27.00 with a shipping charge of $8.00 you are now at $95.00 and haven't even put scales on yet a nice set of scales will take you another 4 hours so add $60.00 so now your at $155.00 isn't it cheaper to buy new.
