Gugi's right, new polished horn brings a premium price. The ones on Rasurpur with the plastic scales look identical to the Edwin Jagger Le Grelots that were being sold a while back for just under $100. Same model number, 52. Those Jagger Le Grelots were
outstanding shavers, I bought two of them at that $100 price, and felt like I stole something. In my own opinion, they would still be tough to beat at the Rasurpur price. Don't be put off by the plastic scales, they are quite nice.
Here is a photo of the Jagger Le Grelot I have in white plastic scales, from the Wiki. Please excuse the
truly awful photo, it doesn't do the razor justice, I was just learning to take photos at the time. But it still gives you another point of reference. One of the best razors at this price point I've ever tried. No kidding, coincidentally I shaved with it this morning:
