I agree. Love my new Wunderbar, and Hawk, and my German 37. I also like my Mergress a lot. Money doesn't always buy a great razor. For example the Muhle R41 has been surpassed by many other razors."Top of the line" doesn't mean much, IMO, unless you mean performance quality. My $20 German 37 is top of the line, but so is my $130 Wunderbar. The same goes for my $25 Hawk and my $140 Mongoose.
A price tag isn't synonymous with "top of the line."
