Thread: Huge price increase at Classic Shaving

Well, this is good news! My prices are starting to look more and more reasonable.

Arrrgh... this bites.

I was just about to pull the trigger on a new TI... but a price bump of $53 is pushing it into the price range where SWMBO would kill me.
Or... at least I'd get a good "talking to".

*sound of whips cracking across America*

Aren't there any other real men left?

I don't think they have had a price increase on their TIs though in the 2 years I have been following them. Eventually prices do go up.

Give them a break guys.

If we had an American producer, it might help the prices against the falling value of the dollar.

Yeah, but we're not married.

Only married men can be considered "real men". Only they have proven to be able to deal with pain, anguish, torture, and deprivation that determines real toughness. I'm divorced.

This price increase can only be good news for our members who are making razors from scratch.

With the price of most models of Dovo or TI (excepting entry level razors) climbing above the $150 for mid-range razors and closer to $200 for anything with decent scales and/or a blade above 5/8, the price increase can only encourage people to buy custom razors from board members.

It's possible that the price increse is because of the increased price of metal. I was told by a merchant the other day that the price of lead has gone up 80% in the last year, and steel prices have also gone up. This makes it more expensive to produce anything made out of metal, so the consumer has to pay more for the finished product.

Just my 2 cents.
