I looked at it ,and Im a pushover,and already have 19 razors and the only reason I can come up with is that it dosnt ring my bell,maybe its as simple as that.In my case it dosnt do it for me,maybe its the same for others.....also its not shiney

Grant,
That razor has traveled a long way to get to where it's at; it is waiting for you. It has your name written on it's soul.
Send the money, Grant, bring her to the States.

He might be right...it may be calling you.

Grant, oh dear, please bring me to your home
amongst the pine needles and the pine cones.
I long to be in South Caroliney.
It hurts so much that I get whiney.

So please dear Grant you awesome confederate
bring me to SC where I can hit your beard and shredder it.
I promise you the best of shaves, all DFS, BBS, or even CCS.
All you have to do is click on the box and to PayPal say YES!

All my love,

Gong

I'm curious how you came to that conclusion? I've seen 5/8, and 4/8 go for many times the cost of this one, and it's all due to brand recognition. It would be nice if vintage razor prices where set exclusively by blade size, but this is simply not the case.

Just going by eBay completed auction prices. Two last Gong straights sold were $34.44 for a 11/16 and $9.92 for what looks to be a 5/8...

GONG razor - Straight Razor Place Classifieds

I'm not sure why it is still there, but they are great razors...or at least mine is & it's still in my rotation. I have a feeling that instead of renewing the listing it should have been pulled and reposted at a later date. For some reason if you don't sell a razor before it rotates back to the second or third pages of listing it seems to effect the mentality of the potential buyers. This has been my experience anyways...
