To be completely honest, I have thousands and thousands of dollars invested. Almost all the main stream top shelf razor brands are in my collection. The thing I've learned is that we always chase a "better" or "best" but really once you get into the top tier of quality the differences are so minute that only a seasoned pro could tell the differences. My absolute favorite razor is a 9/8+ sc133 steel custom that bruno made for me. It shaves so smooth with so little effort. And it was a fraction of the price of an iwasaki. Just food for thought. Just know that if an iwasaki pops up on ebay I will see it, and if the price is right I will buy it. Ones in the mail now :)
