100% function if it looks good but wont shave whats the point, and if it shaves good why does appearance or brand matter

Thanked: 0I'm a noob and use a wapi. It seemed that most thought they are good shavers, and it was relatively cheap. I wanted to start out modest but not so modest that I got discouraged by an impossible-to-shave-with razor. I will say that aesthetics played zero part in my decision for this first razor.

Thanked: 1Dude, it's been about a month. I'm looking for a great shave right now. Later, when I'm displaying razors in my shave den, assuming I make one, I might care more about aesthetics.

I'd rather have function than beauty. But what is the deal with spending 100 bucks on a razor, and getting a really crappy plastic handle? Doesn't make sense to me. The cost difference can't be that much. Sell it for 10 dollars more and put a wood handle on it.

Thanked: 278I voted 75% function. I wanted to vote 100%, but that would make me a hypocrite, because when I bought my DE I avoided the Merkur Progress because of THAT ugly plastic knob.
I wonder if there are any equivalent monstrosities in the straight razor world?
BTW I wouldn't knock the Wapienica. I happen to think it has a special charm of its own.
