I'd have to ask myself if I wanted a Joe Chandler AND a Robert WIlliams Custom for the same money, or a Mastro Livi ivory Damascus for less ........ you get what I mean ....... now if I really wanted one of Alex's, and I had the disposable income, I'd consider it. OTOH, I really prefer very traditional razors, not the more ' creative' stuff, but that is just me. YMMV.
