Where do you see the straight razor trend in........?
Many have been shaving with and collecting straight razors much longer than I have. I have enough time and experience to know what I like in razors when I see them and to appreciate well made razors both in their shaving ability, aesthetics and craftsmanship.
I've also been in this even if for a relatively short time to see prices of both vintage and production razors rise (no surprise).
I'd love to hear predictions, prognostications, etc from others as to where you believe the popularity, value/cost of straight razors will go in the future years, decades or beyond and why. Here's your chance to lay down a prediction for posterity and if correct, be able to say "I told y'all so!":)
I recall Thebigspender mentioning that he'd eventually been priced out of at least one hobby previously. I found that interesting.
I'm not good with predictions myself. I'm glad I "got in" when I did and only have a modest collection of approx 100 razors at this point with virutually all of them purchased for what I consider to be good to great deals.
My intent with this post is not to hasten the course of any potential trend, but rather, talk about what is undoubtedly an evolution (or is it a spike/bubble, etc?) in the interest we share here.
