Isn't that what's called a "Worked Edge"? Very custom, very chic. I also am quite annoyed whenever I see someone with an unrecoverable POS that they are convinced is a collectors item. I really do prefer to stumble on the exact opposite (i.e. a hundred year old razor that looks like it's never been used for $5-10). I think the Cadillac of my fleet came with about a $25 price tag. Most are in the $5-12 range. Most aren't pristine but with a little elbow grease don't look bad and are great shavers.
