Thread: Filarmonica's- What am I missing?

Size, weight, shape, and the edge...man oh man. It's a keeper all around.

As for "cheap" scales, well, they're plastic, and they're probably injection molded, but they do the trick--and the black ones are a-ok with me.

That being said, do I think they're all worth the money? Well, the big ones might be, because big blades always go for a bit more, but not really that much.

One thing that really, REALLY bothers me, though, is when a person says to another "You shouldn't spend money on something that you like, because it's not worth it, and you don't need it." Whose money is it? And who judges worth? And of COURSE it's not necessary, I could grow a beard, I could get electrolysis, I could get an electric. None of this is about necessity, it's about taste and enjoyment.

I hope you don't perceive me to be telling people what to do with their money. I'm just asking for reasons why one of these is worth me spending MY money on. I don't see the value, but I'm not passing judgment on others.
