I am sure you would.  I have a couple of decent Kronas and Techs and enjoy them very much.  I thought the blade lovers might find something interesting about the blades - vintage blades often go for much more - but as I said I am not a blade aficionado.

Good eye on the rare versions of the Platinum Plus’.  Being out of the package and not knowing quality/quantity can indeed be a bit of a crapshoot.  But for someone wanting those specific blades, I don’t think it’s the worst deal.  They might be willing to shell out that money for the blades alone and look at it like getting 2 free razors.

It’s worth half the asking price.

Someone now has a BBS-1 listed on the large Facebook BST group for $2,000... it does ship with tracking though, so there's that  Undecided

Yes but does the RS10 include tracked shipping??? That’s huge added value… oh wait, you mean even the most basic USPS package includes tracking? In that case I guess $1,995 is a much more reasonable number

I ship that way with insurance from pirateship.com until you get to a 1000 dollar razor.  Then it’s well for 50 bucks you can insure it and have it tomorrow guaranteed. Most people do not say no.

Oh I’m just making jokes about the selling prices on the BBS-1. My sarcasm doesn’t always come across well even in person, let alone the interwebs  Cool

No I got the humor I just don’t get the pricing.  Although I still think it’s the best razor James made of the ones I have tried.
