I'm almost positive that Classic Shaving doesn't set the prices for Zowada razors... Tim Zowada does. That's because he knows what went into them AS WELL AS what he can get out. Also, the price difference between a Zowada custom and a TI damascus is like comparing an original Van Gogh to a Thomas Kinkade lithograph... it has a LOT to do with the labor involved. I'm not saying that labor is the only determining factor or that art, aesthetics, and consumer demand play no part, but saying "because people are willing to pay a lot of money for them" as a be-all end-all answer is pretty ignorant. I didn't set out to give a breakdown as to the merits and drawbacks of damascus- that can't be argued to an end either.
