Hi Guys,
Well, I guess it's all about personal openion and technique. Forty plus years in, I still learn new stuff all the time. Still fun, still interesting, and still unique! KEEP SHAVING!
Very Best, John

What razors have you used that really impressed that no one has heard of?

There are quite a few. I'm not going to tell you because that will increase their prices. It is simply law of supply and demand.

It really doesn't matter whether you think one razor costs more than another and maybe the cheaper one is better. The fact is that unknown treasure you got for $40 in ten years will probably still fetch the same plus inflation while the DD that costs $250 today might very well be selling for $500 or more down the road.

Now of course if all you care about is the shave then this doesn't really amount to a pile of beans but if you might like to make some money on it later on it's an important factor. Apparently many folks do think of it as an investment of sorts otherwise the prices wouldn't be what they are.

So, what does worth and value really mean? It's an individual decision.
