Remember to forget me!
My answer is still "yes".
$16 and say a $150 assuming good technique, chances are more expensive shaves better.
Looks/quality/personal preference/materials/brand prestige and R&D aside.
Sorry, buddy. I'd have to disagree there. The higher prices tend to be due to manufacturing techniques or material choices. However, CNC machining of high grade stainless steel is no indication of ergonomics or superiority of design.
A "better" designed (more suitable for the end user) Zamak cast razor may well shave better than a razor produced to fine tolerances in expensive materials, whose head geometry is less suited to the individual's face/beard.
