Thread: understanding how price vs. quality of a razor

At least with the vintage blades I use, IMHO, price has absolutely nothing to do with quality. I have some of the more pricey vintage brands (Puma, DD, Filarmonica) and many unknown razors that would sell for next to nothing due to lack of name recognition, and once they're all honed properly they're all excellent shavers. I've never bothered with modern blades, and why would I when I can get a beautiful, excellently made vintage blade for under $50.00. Case in point (no razor puns intended) this Tucker Regent in excellent condition, picked up at a local antique store for $40.00.
