I am very new to the straight razor world. I bought a starter kit and have been using the DOVO Best Quality razor which I'm slowly getting better with. I am interested in the Boker razor and I keep watching Ebay and seeing "King Cutters" I am hesitant as a newbie as advised on this forum so I'm overly cautious. Today I looked up the boker website for the U.S. and looked at new prices.
I noticed that the new King Cutters went for $149 new whereas the Damascus went for $1299 new.
I was wondering if any of you old razor pros could explain the vast difference in price. I'm sure it must directly tie to quality/performance/longevity etc.
