All shave the same.

What a beautiful display , my only worry is dust

Dust..ha.!! My house is over 100 years old, dusting is a chore, to say the least. But it hasn't affected my razors, by any means. I guess it would play havoc, in a humid, closed environment. Most are in the chest, some in original boxes, others in the open are waiting for the next chest, to be done.

This razor probably cost me about $5.

Nice shaver.

Realistically, the difference as far as the actual shave goes is about $950.00 but the enjoyment factor to the individual user can't really be quantified in dollars and cents. Shakespeare had it right with "Therein lies the rub".
