A big part of the fun is the search, I love antique stores and am always looking for thing to re-sell (not usually straights though). I have only paid more than $20 for a few (and never more than $50 ) and some as low as $5. some need some restoration (part of the fun) or just a good cleaning and honing.(had to get enough razors to make the hones pay for themselves). good deals can be found!
