Thread: The razor of all razors. At least to me.

Saw this beauty while trolling the Revisor website. I wish I could even think about spending this much on a razor. Although at that price I would probably hang it as a piece of art rather than shave with it. lol.

As for me. I think that every razor, whatever price, are meant to be used. Thats what they are made for.
But thats only my opinion, and if you rather have it hung on the wall or something its up to you. Straights are best at work, cutting beard. I use my Piere Issard Historical as often as possible, and like a woman it seems to appreciate when I give it some attention now and then.

looks pretty but that is about it, for the money you can get a one of a kind custom to be your razor of all razors.

Not a fan of gold on a razor, unless in a carving or something. Always much preferred naked steel, and adornments to be in the steel rather than sitting on top of it. Bling razors always make me feel like I need to buy two: one for using and gradually uglifying, and the other for preservation.

As another user said as well, custom razors can compete with that particular specimen in price, though I do not know how much surface decoration they'd do.

790 Euros? That's almost US$1,100. I wonder how many they sell of that one. At that price it better razor of the year or maybe decace.

My investment in restorable eBay and antique store specials from $8 to 40 over the last couple of years suddenly seems even more modest.

That's a lot of money!

Whack that baby on the faucet. Cry.

Well, it is an extremely beautifully embellished razor displaying the highest of standards for a production razor from a defunct manufacturer in wonderful condition. For that you have to pay. I have seen a few sites offering custom razors and none of them have showed the type of embellishments displayed by the linked razor. TI might be able to supply such a razor but then it would not be a vintage razor on the rare side. It is a judgement call as whether you think the price is worth it. As a seller my answer would be go and try to find another in similar condition.

In the world of wine, you have wine drinkers and wine collectors. The drinkers buy wine…..well, to drink. While they may have a collection of wine, it’s a working collection in that its slowly being consumed. The collectors on the other hand collect but never drink, gatekeepers to an imprisoned joy. But there is a market for both consumers. I tend to side with you in that I prefer not to wait for special occasions that may never come to drink my wine or have razors too precious to actually shave with. The good aspect of the collector is that he safeguards a treasure that often outlives him.

I'm thinking that price may be a typographical error ? If not I suspect they will have that razor in stock for a long time.
