Thread: 150 Dollars for a razor. Which one?

I know you said "new" or "NOS", but personally, if I had $150 to spend on a razor, I'd get a used one off the Classifieds from a well-respected member here for the following reasons:

1) I'd want to know that someone who has honed and used plenty of razors can vouch that this one hones easily. Some razors are much harder to hone than others, for various reasons. Of course, if you aren't ever going to hone it yourself, this doesn't necessarily apply.

2) As far as buying used, in a strictly bang-for-the-buck sense, I'd reckon you could get twice the razor if you don't mind, say, the tiniest bit of hone wear or some minor cosmetic flaw.


[In the interest of full disclosure, I've only ever spent about a fifth of that on a razor, so these ideas are just for others to bounce around.]
