Wolfman Razors Price Increase?

It's an interesting scenario. Demand is so high that the price must be increased to limit the ability to purchase the product? Is that what I'm to understand?

I still haven't advanced beyond my two razors (Merkur 34C which was my starter, and a Maggard MR5 which was a gift). I'm aiming to save up for a Shavecraft 101, as I have heard nothing by great things about them. I can't see myself ever buying a Wolfman at this price point, though. Even if I did have the money to buy one, I still wouldn't. I'd rather purchase a bunch of soaps and aftershaves than a single razor, particularly if I've found one that works perfectly for myself.

This is just my opinion, of course.

It's the Disney strategy... Raise prices to decrease demand and reduce the park load... The following year demand is 10% higher than previous.

Which is why I don't go to Disneyland or any other absurdly priced amusement park and probably won't get this razor.

Yes, I understand... But Disney makes billions and I think it's the largest entertainment company in the world... My point is the strategy works. If I were to venture a guess I think Wolfman's demand increases.

I'm not arguing with the strategy but then neither is my budget.

Personal budget is a personal thing really, I was only commenting on the validity of the business strategy. Most businesses the underlying goal is to maximize profits. There is numerous things I like and don't buy because I can't justify the price.

I actually work for Disney, so I feel like I should comment here. Disneys price increases are mostly a solution to a two part issue: increased attendance and declining Middle Class. 
Over utilization of resources has caused advanced and accelerated decay of infrastructure and support technologies. So the company seems to want to limit attendance. Record breaking crowds year after year aren't always a good thing. 
Additionally, the company survived the recession, but there's concern amongst us investors as to whether the company could do so again should it continue to rely on the Middle Class, which has become almost nonexistent. Hence premium pricing, premium paid experiences, upscale shopping and dining, and upsell experiences that the company has recently invested in. 
Parks and Resorts has long been the money-maker for the company, with Walt Disney Studios being overly volatile, and subject to artistic and creative challenges that affect bottom-line numbers. 
I'm not in finance, everything above comes from an investors forum and at length study of the company's recent progress in the parks. They're reaching into developing economies as in Hong Kong and Shanghai, at the same time that the last "middle-class dependent" parks in Paris struggle from years of European financial unrest, leading the Paris parks to be within months of bankruptcy until TWDC bailed them out with a billion dollar transaction.

Great post!

Let me see if I'm getting this right.  The razors, pre-July 1 cost $300 b/c one pays for the handle [$125] and the head [$175] separately.

After a 30% to 40% increase, a Wolfman razor should cost about $400 each!!  Is this correct?

PT Barnum said there is one born every minute, but an entire forum?

I'm not sure about that math, I think you are quoting post July 1 prices. In any event, James razors are under priced in my opinion, they should sell for more considering the quality, finish and manual time that goes into them. A half way decent stainless steel watch is $2k to 5k with a $150 swiss movement that won't last many lifetimes.

Wow, why are these razors so expensive?? And the handles/head are sold separately each being over $100??? I'll stick with my EJ for $40!
