Thanks! Thanks a lot for reading and commenting @Vittoria.
It is quite pricey everywhere. The OG 34 is already on the costly side and this beats it threefold.
And if it would have been a CNC machined razor...maybe it would have been reasonable. But it's not and it's not perfect. I really...
It's not such a strange claim to make @LesC, everything in shaving has been invented and Gillette invented, used or simply bought many of these inventions. So it's a pretty logical claim to make that the vintage Gillettes perform very well for a broad range of people.
