I guess if you can afford the bag, then you can afford the ridiculous $150 shipping to boot...lol

I agree but when he sells it in 10 years for like triple, we will say how foolish we were to not buy it!

Hey they offer one day shipping ! Before I read B's post I had never known those bags existed. Glad they are for women, I don't have to worry about wanting one. Where do people get the kind of money to spend like that ?

Here is some information I found on these razors. Interesting stuff. Apparently, some were plated with rhodium, which at one time might have spiked the prices a bit (see the 5 year price chart). Not so much now.

All that aside, I wouldn't bid that high, but I'm sure it's someone else's cup of tea.

Never saw that page and was going to disagree with your post until I read it. Very instructive. I was under the impression that all British Aristocrats were rhodium plated. I've had a few that I kept for a time and then sold. A 15, 16 and a 66 IIRC. I was totally unaware that there were 9 varying open comb models. Anyway, thanks for the instructive link.

Jimmy, I thought I read that somewhere too. I wanted to double check, and found that page. Of course, the person who posted that article on the internet might be a french model for all I know.

Always taking it for what it's worth . . .

If I had $1000 to spare. I would ditch it into a razor I liked/really wanted. Hell I think we all would! Looking at this from my broke ass perspective, the price seems high. When I finish med school ... I will probably be the guy people are saying is ridiculous for spending $1000 on an 11/8" anchor razor LOL

From my perspective as a SR collector, that's not even a razor, just a razor holder!

I know what you mean. I think of them as 'contraptions'. OTOH, a British Aristocrat is a thing of beauty to behold. I have some vintage DEs that are contraptions but beautiful contraptions and I really like having them. It is kind of like the ocean, I rarely go there but it is nice knowing it is 8 miles east if I ever get the urge.
