I find my more expensive razors (DE and straight) to look, feel and shave better than my less expensive ones.
I find my more expensive shoes and clothing items to look and feel better than my less expensive ones.
Of the two cars we currently have in our family, I much prefer the looks, performance and features of the more expensive one.
See where I'm going with this....
However, as many have pointed, there's no rule that spending more money will get you "better" product and more satisfaction, but, often times, it does.
My rule, and I'm yet to regret it, if it's something you really care for and plan to use for a long time, always spend a bit more than you were prepared to.
I find very old denim jeans much more comfortable than new jeans. I like being able to roll down my windows without involving the ignition switch.
Looks? Yeah, looks generally cost money.
