Did anyone see this, they seem to be going for really crazy prices.

I just cannot imagine that these razors are that much better than others in the SE array....The shaves that I have gotten from the 20-30 SE razors that I have are fantastic...and I got them all for not a whole lot more than the price that these razors are fetching.
You are absolutely correct. A Damaskeene will shave you equally as well. It's just become a status piece for SE shavers/collectors. As far as that listing goes, I am reminded of the old saying...A fool and his money are soon parted.I think they are higher quality due to the heft and plating, but I don't think they necessarily shave better.
I think the politically correct term now is gravitationally challenged.They are still a good value compared to Fatboys.
I think it is cognitive dissonance....
Don't they all? Isn't this a big part of why we love them?
Those Steamline Razors are Usually in Great shape, They have such good thick plating jobs on them. Gotta Love Them. ;o)
