There are basically three types of people who would pay such an amount of money for a razor like this: collectors, fanboys, and developmentally challenged people.
I doubt that this one was bought by a collector. There is rust on the spine, and the scales are discoloured.
Fanboys typically lack the money required for such razors, but they talk about them a lot. Which is one of the reasons that many shaving forums have become unreadable. Whatever it is, whether razors, strops, hones, or other gear, someone inevitably will jump up and tell the world what a great catch the original poster has made, how jealous he is, how he's been trying to find a razor just like that, and how he totally will find one real soon now. Without, mind you, ever having shaved with such a razor. What's really important, though, is that the razor (or any other equipment) gets a fitting nickname. Thus, Fily, Fili, Filly, and Filli were born. Back in school, we used to get a sound flogging for such abuse of language, but those time are, I am afraid, long gone.
Which brings me to developmentally challenged people. Well, what I said in the previous paragraph applies.
Oh, yeah. I
did a comparative review of the
Fil[l](i|y) EPBD and a German razor a while back. I got a lot of flack for that one. But I maintain that anyone paying more than USD 100 for a more or less Spanish convenience item in fugly rubber toy scales is a complete and utter idiot.
