The cheapest one they make should be as good as their most expensive one. They use the exact same steel, and the exact same heat treatment, so the only differences are in the stiffness of the grind, the looks, the scales, and the marketing.
If you are happy to pay the price difference for the extras it's worth it, otherwise it's not.

Thanked: 443I handled one of those Oak Wings a few weeks ago. Yes they're gorgeous and I'm sure they're good shavers, but the scales were just too big for my hands--and I have fairly large hands. It just did not rest comfortably as I held it in a shaving position.
Any razor, new or used, is worth what you're willing to pay for it. You'll have to just handle a few at a shop, then buy it if the price is right for you. You should buy it at a shop that also sells razor hones, as that shop will probably understand what it means to be "shave ready." Even very expensive razors may not be truly shave ready as the factory sends them out to the distributors."These aren't the droids you're looking for." "These aren't the droids we're looking for." "He can go about his business." "You can go about your business."
