+1 Red! Most have no idea what the razor is all about. I'm sure they realize the rennaisance taking place in straight razor shaving and are hoping to capitalize on the market forces. But they have no knowledge, which means those types are rather short lived or extremely dissapointed and left with the crappy ones they can't dump. Except to others who have no knowledge and are buying them as an investment. Investment in what is a good question. When I send the seller a question about blade size I have learned to explain to them what measurement I am interested in. Somehow they haven't figured out that no one really cares how long the entire razor is or how long the blade is.
