Personally if the razor 'delivers the goods' I don' see the price as being out of line. It is built start to finish by one artisan and I would consider it a semi custom. Go to a web site that carries TI and check out the prices. The Hart is competitive IMO. BTW, in looking at Dovos I see that SRD has new 5/8 on sale for $72.99. That is a good deal.
