Rare DD Grim Reaper-Missing the Reaper!
Sorry, there's no Dubl Duck Reaper missing the reaper here. I just wanted to start a thread to discuss what makes a razor more valuable outside of the brand and type of blade/condition. Just a few that add and subtract from the value to me are:
Add:
-one off designs or errors(original) that improve the look or design off the razor, such as wood scales with more figuring than usual
-belonging to someone well known, as long as proof can be given
-good story behind it
-modifications that look orginal or improve the look of the razor
Do Not Add to/take away:
-belonging to someone of little importance or no proof of belonging to someone notable
-errors from the factory that are really just a defect
-putting "rare" scales from one brand onto another brand, especially when the brand name is on them(like Goldedge scales on a WB)
-damage that can conveniently be described as a feature of the razor, like a chip on the heel would be described as "finger notch" and so on
Any other ones?
