Thread: how much did you pay for your favorite razor?

$350ish for an iwasaki western. Makes me smile everytime I use it
Loving seeing some of you are only paying a few bucks for your favourites.

$2 plus P&P, owes me about 17 cents a shave up till tonight.

Zowada...you don't want to ask...

Favorite-Boker Silver Steel. About $125 if I remember correctly

Most expensive-Zowada Carbon Series. $425

In the on deck circle-Brian Brown Custom. Pricing starts at $450. Delivery sometime next Spring

...and barring anything unforeseen, that's going to be it for razors. Really.....

£40 Dovo ebony and £30 Genco so only £70 for my two favs. Both shave so well bbs everytime (well except when my abillity lets me down).

I don't have my favorite yet. I have been chasing that one forever. My favorite so far: Brian Brown. I paid enough to know it's valuable but not so much that I feel bad about it. Several hundred dollars.

I am a much newer SR shaver than most of you here. So with the rise in popularity of straight razors I have naturally had to spend a bit more for razors due to the laws of supply and demand and not to mention I don't know how to restore or hone on my own yet(plan on learning as soon as I can afford some stones and get a couple tools)

My favorite razor is a 13/16 Wade & Butcher with custom scales that I purchased for $225.00 Not the most I have spent on a razor but it is without a doubt my favorite. My second favorite cost me $100.00

The Razors I use the most are one of my 7 Hart Steels, Tim Zowada 2H2H and a Zowada Carbon Series, A Bryan Brown, Williams SRP,and one of Mistro Livi New Grinds and Both of the USMC Clauses but they only get used once a year plus other razors I use if the mood strikes me. I can't even start to tell you how much I've spent I have a Custom By Tim Zowada which I hope to have in the next few weeks.

Just a wild guess but I would bet you have invested several hundred in thos blades

My favorite: Mastro Livi 8/8's Spanish Point in Mastro Livi's own carbon Damascus with Olivewood scales. I paid almost fifteen hundred bucks (no secret, SRD lol), and feel like I stole it




At the other end of the price spectrum, I bought a Case Red Imp 132 (blade only) for four bucks (it was ROUGH), restored and re-scaled it in red acrylic, and love it to death. It had been in a cruddy old display case in an antique store the owner told me for as long as he could remember (~30 years). It had been given up on, but now lives to fight another day. Or beard. It's like the Little Razor That Could
