This is the first straight razor I ever bought, and I paid $25 for it about a year and a half ago not knowing if it was even worth keeping. I then found this forum and was absolutely stunned at the amount of $$$ I have been offered for this razor... No, it's not for sale!

With the vintage razors I think it is like firearms or anything else. It just depends on how many were made, how easy they are to come by, what condition they are in, and what the level of quality was at original manufacture. Then if you have those few people that just have to have that particular razor when it comes up for sale(especially on the auction sites), they get caught up in a bidding frenzy and the next thing you know someone has paid a ridiculous amount of money for a simple tool.
