Totally worth it! They say if the blades dull In the next ten years they will sharpen it for free. Somehow I don't have complete faith that a company that only produces $100k razors will still be in business in 10 years, most people that are rich got rich by not buying stupid things, I can't see Bill Gates or Steve Jobs springing for one of these.

Not much. The synthetic ceramics now used for knife blades is wonderful stuff in that application, and I can't help thinking that if there is some reason for this not to be used in razors, it might also apply to sapphire. Take a look for "cubic zirconia rough" on eBay and you will see huge chunks of a stone surely at least as good for a razor as sapphire. It could be achieved far more cheaply, so why isn't it?
Why iridium, I wonder? It is almost the heaviest substance known, and it is brittle. Not to mention that sapphire is brittle, if that is the way it lands when you drop it. That, I don't doubt, is something against which the ten-year guarantee is not valid. As has been suggested, I doubt if the entity that sells them is going to be around for ten years to honour that guarantee. They are claiming a production run of 99. The very word!

A cynic, if anyone of that description were present, might speculate or even offer bets on how many of the announced production run of 99 have been made. I don't suppose the evidence to settle that argument would ever be forthcoming, though.

I can't see them needing more than a rough cloth to shave.
