Thread: wade & butcher resale value!!! And funny story

Dear OP....the prices keep rising because most people who want them go to eBay to buy them, and when they all get there, they try to win by raising their bids, and raising them again, and again.

If you read here long enough, you'll see that each person's actual experience is different with any make, size or grind. Some chase W&B, others Ducks, others Filarmonica, others Case, etc. since, as has also been pointed out "they don't make them any more", if you want an XXXXXXX, you have to pay what the market says. Like high capacity pistol magazines, which were (temporarily) banned. Prices tripled, so I sold some. Kinda like any other product. So, it's that simple

Yeah I got a lot of logical explanations to what is going on, I've never shaved with a W&B so I only asked just to find out if the razor somehow jumped out of your hands and shaved for you lol... But yeah makes sense that there are also trends one day W&B, next will be something else... I know that there are a to of different types of razors, grinds and styles and I do have a small idea of what my own preference are these days but all my recent purchases have solely been for restore and re-sale... I will shave with all the razors before I sell them just so I'll grow an advanced log of straights. I will know exactly what I'm looking for when I buy my personals, for now I just thought that this would be one of the best ways to figure out my own preferences since I'll have so many different razors I'm and out of hands.... I also would like to thank you all for taking the time to reply to my thread, I have a really good idea of what's going on now and I will no longer be scratching my head saying "$450?! why in he hell would you pay that?"
