I just checked with Mike, and true wootz costs about 100$ per inch. Sadly, there are many disreputable sellers on the internet who call their stuff wootz and sell it for 20$ per inch.

In any case, at 100$ per inch you can easily see that for a razor to be made from real wootz, it would be about 1000$ just for the steel itself, never mind the scales and working it.
