Okay that makes sense. Also the 20 to 50 dollar Vintages make a little more sense. I was just looking at prices and thinking 50 razors would cost like 3000 to 5000 dollars or even more in some cases. I work in IT so I do okay but still that would be hard to get budgeted. What I am getting is my Christmas present. When I upgrade it will likely be next year's christmas or maybe my birthday.

Now I really can see trying different styles and types to see what you like or more likely what works best for your habits and needs. I could see it being more of a thing for me if a) I got into honing and restoring blades b) I saw them in shops or other places I found myself on occasions c) I had more money d) I had more time in the morning and didn't keep a beard.

Is there a place where the plusses and minuses of different blade types are discussed? So far looking through forums I see a lot of assumed knowledge that I don't have. With any new research topic I come across there is always some time involved in learning the lingo.
