You are right... I got yesterday a Joseph rodgers for dirt cheap... Today this guy wanted 7 times what i pay for the same razor! Same brand almost the same... All antiques stores agree that just recently there has been a crave for razors... Thats why they are pricey! I am not bias... All i look for is vintage... Restorable possibility and thats it... The brand doesnt matter ad much as the condition and if i like it... Should be fun to restore these...
