The most expensive razors I have ever sold were 2K.
With the materials that went in them and the time they took, that was not unreasonable either.
If I were to equate man-hours... I could sell a razor for a pretty penny.
But alas, I am a slow perfectionist and could not sell my work except by necessity or charity.
There was that huge razor with ivory scales carved, amazing piece. In a collectors hands, though if sold I imagine it would bring in even more than 20-40k. Looking for the pic on here somewhere..?
Can't shave with it but...
when I win the lottery.. :D
Are talking about vintage, new, custom, or all of the above? There is a set of Japanese razors on eBay that have the highest BIN price.
I would love to eventually own some customs by the makers here on the forum.
I’ve got them from 1700$ to 5$. So maybe mines not that expensive after all, but my 5$ razor shaves just as good but it don’t look as cool. Tc
Yes, you can't buy your way to a better shave.
And you buy a 2K razor for pretty much the same reason someone else might buy an expensive painting.
" For me, the most expensive razor is...The one that is above my cash balance at the bank!"
YMMV

This is all true, however there ARE variables to consider...
You might have a bad, faulty, or worn-out razor.
Buying a new one will get you a better shave!
You might need to get your razor professionally honed.
Paying for that will get you a better shave.
You may need to travel to a meet to firsthand learn some things..
Travel expenses spent should result in a better shave.
A better soap, strop, and brush could lead to some expense.
Yet that could get the shaves better, indeed.
I could go on, I suppose...
Money spent learning new stuff and getting better at things you already thought you knew is always money well spent. I have traveled far and at considerable expense to be able to learn and get better. Most don’t have to travel as far and most can drive to meets and that is where the shaves really come together for new guys.
