Ok, no disrespect meant to anyone here, but I'm genuinely curious. What's the big deal about these razors? What is it about them that commands such a high price? They seem to enjoy almost mythical status around here, and they're cool, but I'm trying to understand what is the big hub-bub about them?
I saw a 12/8 in boxwood scales that looked pretty run of the mill. Basic spine work with some x's carved into the spine, and it's like 1400.
Again, I'm not trying to down on Maesto Livi or anyone who owns one of these razors, I'm just trying to come to grips with the fact that they're obviously very desirable/collectable, yet for me they evoke almost zero emotion in me when I see one.
