    Yup I don't really understand the reserve. Why not just start at it... a gorgeous razor for sure.

    At that price it is cheap.
    However, with unique pieces, it is only worth something if there is at least one person who wants to have just that particular razor.

    I would buy it but Bruno took all my money.

    I mean if it was a big choppin 9/8 or 10/8 I'd buy it. For a 6/8 I couldn't justify spending more than half of its starting price.

    for any of you guys who has purchased a Timahagane razor its well above that price, but like people have said its all in who wants it. great craftsmanship in his razors and that steel is very unique, so for any sitting on the fence wanting one of his this is a great buy. Tc

    I guess it boils down to diminishing means, and how much money you have to spend. If you have $2000+ to spend on a razor, then it's not an issue of money. In that case a meteorite steel custom smelted and forged razor would seem like a bargain!

    The tang, spine, grind, damascus pattern and bevel size are impeccable.
