Some razors obtain 'cult status.' The W&B FBU, dubl duck Reaper, some of the Fillarmonicas. They are 'hot' collectibles. Every now and again there is a lull, or there are a lot of them on the bay, and a bargain can be had. Usually though there are at least a few guys after one at the same time. Those George Brittain 12/8s were hot awhile back. Going for big bucks. The ebb and flow of the collectibles market.
