Where will this end up?
Whats so spectacular about it?
I see nothing to justify that price.
I'm just glad I bought all my razors quite a few years ago.
It's a nice razor, but yeah. I was thinking about splurging until it went insane.
I know where it wont end up, and that's in my collection. Too rich for my blood.
Was it Glen who said that the M.K stood for "More Kash" ? :thinking:
I was watching that one too and I took it off my watch list after it went north of $350. It's a nice razor but my God that's a crazy price.
+1. It ain't as crazy as that reaper that ended at $922.00 the other day, but it is crazy for what it is. :thinking:Quote:

You guys got something against spectacularness?
Shipping looks reasonable :)
Crazyness for a little 7/8s razor.Now had it been an MK 134:) that would be cheap.
Holy Moses! This makes me feel like have just made a bargain (even though I spent $402):)
I wasn't going to brag until I had it in my hand, but here goes:
Check out what I just bought by comparison, shave ready, cheap shipping and all
Dubl Duck Wonderedge Straight Razor *SHAVE READY* | eBay
I originally thought I wanted a round tip, but looking at this made me change my mind. :)
I was wondering where that Wonderedge would end up at. Quite steep IMO. Iv'e read that some guys think the steel is different in these razors. Me thinks its just the rarity of these razor compared to other DD.
Yeah, looks like some DD models have gone through the roof after Lynn called the Wonderedge his favorite (albeit a round one), and also some old barbers apparently said they preferred DDs. I knew I wanted a nice DD this time, but the Wonderedge was the kind that appealed most to me, and the square tip is actually something I don't already have (after thinking about it I figured the round tipped ones might be somewhat similar to my basic Dovo razors. BTW I expect only high quality carbon steel, no alchemy). At first, I decided I wouldn't go much beyond 300, but then I thought that it sounded like the seller knows what he's talking about when he says "shave ready" and I am not good at restoring blades (touching up yes, setting the bevel not so much), so it saves me the trouble of involving the honemeisters. When it got near 400 I was about to give up on this one, but I suspected that someone might have set their limit at exactly 400 so I added $2 beyond that and there you go. ......Oh, and it was also sort of to celebrate the fact that I got extended a contract I'm on.

Man you got it bad but I hear where you are coming from. Enjoy that DD.

I don't think I'd pay that much for Occam's razor!
Glad i not shopping for straight razors any more.
Prices going though the roof.
If you did you wouldn't get much of a shave out of it.Quote:

One minus point of this specific razor is the oxidation at the pivot: every time I oil it and then open and close it, some dark material comes out here (i.e. some oxidized metal seeps out with the oil). Should I be worried about this?
IMHO, based on my years of experience..... if you just wipe it clean with a tissue after your shave. Strop it on leather only for 20 or so round trips, put it in a dry environment, it will be fine. That tang/pivot ain't rusting through if it was another 100 years.Quote:
