You know that makes sence,the one thing that has bothered me the most is the fact that they look so chezzy and command such high prices,the scales are AT best crappy,ant the color choices are really bad,the best you can hope for is black or brown,not that horrible green. Oh well theres one born every second.......

The description says: "CONDITION : Relatively good condition-very tiny rust on the surface only." and "It should be sharpened before use."
Among the sellers other items I also spotted a $25 razor. Perhaps this Sub Cero is the holy grail for collectors of spanish razors or something. Just a thought.

your probablbly right-This razor was made from the armor that Cortez wore while concering the Incas!

Indeed it is. What surprises me the most is the fact he has 100% positive feedback. I guess no one wants to admit when they've been ripped off....

Cortez was in Mexico and the Incas were in Peru, you are thinking about Pizarro (the spanish who was in Peru) or about the Aztec empire, conquered by Cortez.

I have seen a pic of this razor, it's a bit ancient, the original owner showing his straights....

I have a Sub Zero 13 and I like it a lot, but it does not worth that price.

I agree, they are very good razors, then again $1200 is a fair chunk of money. To me.

Over the period of the last 18 months, I've made quite a few purchases that at the time was considered rather foolish, and proof of the old saying that there is one born every second.

I especially remember buying a NOS EPBD for the ridiculous amount of $405.
That particular razor is still NOS, never used. If the bay is anything to judge by, I get a feeling that that might not be the worst investment in my life, should I decide to offer it up to the market

My point is this:
What any given product is worth to each and every one of us varies. There is no right or wrong in that, just different views on an items value, and different reasons for why we buy what we do.
