    Default Wonderedge on ebay

    Just noticed that the wonderedge on ebay had shot up to $355. Looks like a nice piece. As I'm somewhat new to this, is that a fair price or just a case of supply and demand?

    It is in the eye of the beholder. It is more then it is worth AFAIC but I have one in as good a condition and that I paid $100 for and it is a square point. More desirable to me. YMMV. They are hot right now and have been. If you keep on looking you will probably find one at a better price.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    that's high. philotrix is a trusted seller so perhaps the lack of fear of being bamboozled combined with the sought after brand is driving it up, but that's high.

    I got mine for $36. It was not nearly as clean as the one that sold for 335, but it cleaned up pretty well, honed nicely, and gave me a great shave. Here is what it looked like before and after.

    People pay crazy money for restored or shave ready razors. Often to the point of being able to get a tatty one restored & honed for less money!

    I don't know, good wonderedges always seem to command pretty high prices. I've seen quite a few in this price range and higher. I don't think a restored razor is the same as unrestored one. To me restoration is just a way to meet the demand and get something relatively close to the real thing. I have quite a few razors that are very easy to mirror shine, but I keep them with the factory finish even though there are few black speckles on them.
