Thread: Senior members, a question

FOTM that is sorta funny actually but as was already pointed out certain blades have held their value fo a very long time....


That being said the price of a razor actually has very, very, little to do with how well it might shave it only has to do with how many people know that information....

Such as everyone on this forum knows that DD razor shave great we all know that W&B's do also, Puma, Henckles, Dovo Fritz Bracht, Reynolds, etc etc: these are "Known" good brands in other words find any one of these in good shape and it will give a superior shave.... Therefore they have a "higher value" in the market....

Now take a lesser known brand name, one for instance, Beau Brummel will sell for half or less than it's cousin the DD, why because less people know the name, and less people will bid on it, even though it is every bit as good a shaver as it's better known cousin..... Honestly IMHO that is the only difference....

Great historical read thanks for posting it.
