Well I would like to point you in the direction of a vintage NOS Japanese western style razor, it's a little more cost than the $400 dollar budget you have but I honestly think it's worth it, I have this very same razor, and I also own or have owned the razors you are thinking of buying, and I would give my endorsement.

I have each of those razors, except for the Hart:
Wacker - in production, you can wait a little while
Filly - getting more popular by the day. 400 is close for a mint version
Helj - pricing is too astronomical due to popularity
Dorko - rare in my experience. Can get mint for a little more than 400
I love each of these brands and will never let them go. I think you should go for the mint that is close to your budget before they're harder to find. Trends come and go on brands. But a mint Filly or Dorko will always be my favorites in my collection.
I also adore every one of my mint C-Mon's.

Ha!
Well, I think everyone here is just trying to say there is a lot of good value out there for less money. And they are right.
BUT:
You want one of these choices, right? Why else would you list them?
I love my Wacker. Came shave ready. A Dorko by Wacker sounds like peanut butter and chocolate.
You want to spend the money. It's a gift to yourself, so it's worth it.
With the list you want to choose from, you can't go wrong unless you buy from a disreputable seller.
Share your purchase with us later!
