    Perhaps it will be like the classic car market in the UK, where a few years ago fairly nondescript vehicles suddenly began to change hands for outrageous sums. Some were bought as 'investments', some as toys. They were often purchased by people with no mechanical aptitude or even the skill to drive them properly. Eventually the bottom dropped out of the market, with only true rare classics being worth money.
    I think that perhaps the razor market is a kind of microcosm of classic cars and m/cycles.
    There is an element of greed. With one hundred razors being described by some as a modest collection. How many razors do you really need? Why should you be able to buy them cheaply if the demand is high?
    I have ten razors all of which please me, not one is rare or sought after. To me, I probably have eight too many.
    Unlike cars, which take up space, I suppose many razors bought in a fit of enthusiasm by a new generation of users may end up tossed in the back of a drawer and forgotten.
