Thread: How much would you spend on a decent razor?

it all depends, greatly. I have bought a blade for 117, and have gotten complete razors for <20. I have a goal though, to get a good rotation of razors I'd never get rid of. I'm really damn close too. anymore it has to really catch my eye for me to consider it, then how hard it is to find determines how much I'd spend on it.

for a custom? no more than 350, IF I somehow had that kind of money. for one already to go, but restored/rescaled and looking fantastic, it'd have to be under 200, and again, I'd have to have the money at the time. that's always the rub.

I really need to find a way to make my own blades, but add it to the list of projects and hobbies, my hair'd all be grey before I got to that one.

as everyone else has said, it depends on the razor. for a new one, maybe up to 100. for a used one, never more than 50 unless it's spectacular

I'd say most guys on this site will encourage you to go cheap. For guys who pay $500+ on a razor, it is usually not because of the quality of shave. For those prices you should be able to assume a great shave. This site IMO represents the lower range of 'spenders'. Most guys just want a decent shaving razor, so $30 will do fine for them. Then again, they'll probably never get their dream razor/s. I am not surprised when certain razors can be sold for $2000+.

I've gone 65 before for a vintage, but i'd go much higher for a custom art piece

For a decent razor, I'd spend maybe $30 at most. For blades that I want for myself (I'm pretty selective, and I wouldn't refer to these as "decent"), I've spent four times that.
