I just hope that in 5-10 years, the market that we're a part of doesn't price us right out of actually wanting to shave with these things.

The general public could care less about straight razors and most men think the idea of actually shaving with one (I would venture to guess that even some strict non-shaving razor collectors as well) is ridiculous. IMO let's just hope that down the road the average or above average vintage straight doesn't cost $500-$1,000+ making it then much less viable for the average man to actually want to use these things for their intended purpose as opposed to having them sit in a shadow box on someone's wall next to that person's other collectibles.
