I voted 60% function, 40% looks....NOT because either is unimportant, but because BOTH are important, with the emphasis on function.

Some esthetic's such as the scales really do effect function in the way that they feel in your hand while shaving, stroping, or even just picking them up up and opening the blade. So, although function is important, different materials As I aquire more razors, I find myself looking a more "unique" or decorated razors with Quality blade.
