The hyped brands still bring big dollars, which is good for the rest that shave great but sell for reasonable amounts.

Just pm me if you see any cheap ones by Iwasaki .

There is a certain furniture man that seems to be able to bring a pretty good $ for his razor auctions be they Straight or DE.

I love the smell of cedar in the morning. With times being what they are, sometimes you just have to wonder if a seller has a monkey shill bidding for them to increase the price, seems kind of curious if you ask me.

I think it's because Wullie now has the market cornered -- everything left on fleabay are his rejects.

I think it has a lot to do with the economy. I know when my finances aren't so great, I tend not to buy too many razors. However, when I have a surplus of money, I buy many more. Of course I do have two reasons for this obsessive compulsion. First, I have a grandson and several nephews and great-nephews who will need schooling in the manly arts. Second, I am something of a straight razor evangelist and I believe every man should own at least one straight razor. At any rate, when I make good money, those who sell straight razors on e-bay make money off me. And believe me, I am quite happy to trade green for good steel.
