Thread: Gold Dollar

I think spending $1000.00 for as razor depends on the persons' interpretation of what they consider value and what they want in life. I have quite a few razors but none that I would consider over $200.00. However, if that is what you want, I say go for it! You only dance on this earth for a short time.

True, I'd rather have several trade/upgrade/ play with. One has to show SOME restraint. Lol
Each their own.
Funny, I started wanting a few Solingens, a few Shefields, Thiers, Swedes, etc. Now that I have them, I'm thinking thumb notches, engravings, French points, and sexy scales... preferably from Solingen, etc.
I expect at some point I'll thin the herd to my favs that will likely be a Wacker chevalier and if blessed a custom.
If you buy the best to start.. do you know it's the best? [emoji6]
I ramble...

At the end of the day it's all good, as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and accept who you are and what you've become. I know someone who paid $15K for a baseball card and he stills thinks that was a great decision.

Wish you lot's of luck with your collection. You're very passionate about straight razors!

One would think the value of the ivory alone would increase in value.
Of course, it could be just justidication.[emoji6]

I would but only for financial gain. I could not purchase it for my collection at $1000. I don't think the Ottoman would shave any better than any other Wade Butcher. Thats what makes this a great hobby.
