So, not rare, lots of fanboys who want them, actually middle of the road performance - I could easily think of twenty brands (let alone razors) that offer better value for money.

But, hey!, some people love fanboy items. It's a big, big YYMV thing, and that's great. Diversity is great, especially when it comes to straights.
YYMV? I like the look of them and they are huge I would say that's the only reason why I'm interested in getting one, but mainly for the resale value. Of course after I'm done honing and shaving with her I'll have a better idea of what I'm dealing with... But I have heard from my reliable source it's not a top performer... I think he was mentioning something about edge retention as I recall...
