Thanked: 0Yes, I've looked quite a lot in the classifieds. Although, I'm not sure if they are worth what the asking price is. To be honest, I wouldn't know the historical significance between two that were of equal price. I don't need a collectors piece, just a few that I really like.
It's a little difficult to explain, but I find that the aesthetics of the new razors that are for sale really lack character. I like the curved lines of the older styles. The plain face of the razor, I don't need anything gold laced.
I seem drawn to the utilitarian looking razors over the fancy gold labelled ones. I've found that the Wade and Butcher razors are particularly nice (but expensive), I also like the Boker styles. I like the square points over a round point, a 6/8 over a 5/8. Things like that, seem to me, anyway to be more of value than a fancy gold logo on the side of the blade. I know it may seem vain to buy a razor for the aesthetics, but I can't bring myself to spend a lot on a razor that I don't really like the looks of.
Dilemas!
