Hey be nice, I'm not OCD... I'm irrational and fickle.

I didn't see this coming and didn't think of it till now, but just realized that the cheapest razor I ever bought is the only one I use. It's aluminum and I much prefer it over the SS version of the same thing. Ymmv of course.

But...

Sebum shaving soap, the lather is okay, takes way too long to build it though.

RR Lupo for $30.

Better for me than all the $40, $80, $150, $200+ razors I've bought.

Navitimer So what is the price on a tub of Sebum shaving soap?  Last time I looked it was so far into the stratosphere it was absurd.  I will never know if it is overrated as I will never order it.

I too have noticed that some artisans are getting a little crazy with pricing.
The only maker that I buy from that is on the pricey side is B&M and that is because his soaps work well for me and they are priced according to ingredients cost, which I don’t see many others do.

I bought it second hand. During sales it can be had for around 75$ (soap only) if I remember correctly.
