Lots of way at looking at a $1000 razor....lots of ways a looking a shelf full $300+ badger hair too. I can look at those walls of hair and say the same thing..."holy hell, why?". I can no more see $5k in brushes than some can see $1000 in a single razor. It takes all kinds, men. That's why they make chocolate and vanilla. Really tho, $1000 in one razor or $1000+ in two Wolfies or $1000 in 3 new brushes (if you are lucky). Or 1 brush, 1 razor, and 1 soap. There is no universal definition of a den.
I've had, and keep, more $800 Wolfies than I need. If I trade one...and a brush...for a razor that can best any WR2 you lay on the table in one fell swoop, in any metric you care to try and quantify? Which is the better value? We all navigate these waters differently...and we generally shake our heads in silence at what we perceive as excessive. But then...who gets to decide excessive...or necessary...valuable or invaluable?
The guy that says NO WAY to a $1000 razor can be the same guy that throws $500 at Aldo for a brush. OR chases DG brush handles in every color and hair. I just generally try to manage my own den...and shake my head in silence.
