I dont disagree with everything you are saying, trust me. But I got these 2 razors with a nice box that holds both of them for $8. I mean if they were more expensive I wouldnt have got em. I more or less just enjoy the collecting part of it all then anything else. it may sound dumb to some of you but its what I like. And I have plenty of good razors that are shave ready. If I didnt have them then things would probably be different. thanks -BRETT
