I'm a designer of buildings. I have a particular skill set that sets me apart from most others. My time is valuable. My clients understand that and pay me pretty well to manage projects for them. I see little difference in a guy who can design, manufacture, finish and assemble artisan razors all by himself...even if he chooses to glue the heads on. There seems to be only a couple of men on the planet who endeavor to produce such tools. Others may not appreciate the same things I do...and that's what make this hobby so damned fun. I meet some incredible people who share what makes their dens enjoyable to them...I appreciate all points of view and perspectives...shapes...and colors.
It is an enjoyable hobby, it is more fun to keep easy. Just buy it and enjoy it.
actually I should not make any economy comment. Deleting all my comments.
