Blade gap has very little to do with aggression. Blade exposure is what you're looking for.

My question would be if you thought it was "more aggressive " than Wolfman having sold 3, why would you buy it in the first place?
Can you tell us the batch number?

Total extortion and swindle.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Hey, if some idiot is willing to pay that much for a razor, let 'em. Nobody's putting a gun to their head so it ceases to be extortion or swindling. It is ridiculous though, I'll give you that.

Its ironic when those who post comments from their $1000 iphone that apple makes for $70 or type from their $60 logitech keyboard that they make for $3. But I get it, everyone wants to have the best forum comment because thats cool these days. More likes tge better. Ive over paid for alot of shaving items simply because there was no other way. But I guess by calling people idiots because they may buy a certain item seems ok because its a forum. No one is twisting anyones arm to buy it.

But this is a community where people are supposed to help out fellow wet shavers. Not encourage or partake in the ridiculous flipping of rare gear. If you create a culture of selling stuff at ridiculous profit it's only going to manifest and end up the norm thus no one gets a good deal.

I get that. But no profit. You dont make money in this hobby. No profit when I sold off a bunch of simpson brushes last year. Or gave away brushes on veterans day. Gave soaps to others to try. If you happen to get extra back, it eventually goes to someone else for something else in the hobby. Unfortunately there are no equal outcomes. But I get what your saying. And that is why ill give it a go later to hopefully change my mind. Name calling is a but much, but its what people do.

I agree with your sentiment here, but since when are we "supposed to" help out fellow wet shavers? Are there some unwritten by-laws that are part of this community that I missed?? Granted, I have never made a dime on any of my sales and actually lose money about 99% of the time. I just want to get rid of the stuff and offer it at good prices to facilitate that. If it helps somebody out, then that's great too.

Ok, perhaps 'supposed to help out' was the wrong phrase. How about 'don't be a dick'. Is that better?
