good grief
The sad thing is there are knuckleheads who buy this crap.:9898:
I personaly think all the stuff from AOS is way too overpriced I was at a store of theirs in Dallas and looked at the prices and all I could think was, "Holy cow!!"
What the heck are they thinking. Next up "fecal matter shaving cream" - $200 an oz
hmm it looks like the sort of styling id expect to see in a pound shop. ahem i mean not my taste.
I can't understand why the darn thing is so pricy. Is it made out of lightweight unbreakable ceramic, coated with a proprietary titanium alloy or something...? I'm confused...
And you get the thrill of using it with either a Mach3, or Fusion cartridge. What choices!! This thing is amazzzzzzzzing!!! 
If I had that, I'd feel so cool. 
Too bad I'm stuck with my stone age gear.

Sorry. Even if I had the cash to spare I would be a hypocrite paying that for a cartridge holder.
I bought two tubs of AoS SC and that was enough. The products are OK, but I dislike the oversized tub that contains the same amount as others....and the stuff isn't near as dense. Why anyone would want a razor (especially a M3) priced at $1k is beyond me!
Come on guys, it's got "Swirl" 
it's a pretty heavy razor mind you.. must be more then a kg. as sterling silver is about 745 dollar per kg
I think PT Barnum would have felt right at home at AOS.
YGMSM!
Good thing their soap is good...must keep them in business!

OTOH, I did have a very nice shave this morning with AOS lavender shave cream, a Gillette yellow, and my $14 SS.
At around 15+- an ounce, that thing would have to be near a pound to be worth $1000
It's made out of sterling silver. Of course, that alone doesn't really justify the price, since virtually every mall on the planet has a sterling silver jewelry shop filled with cheap goodies. Then again, John Hardy and David Yurman jewelry is also sterling, and they sell for a small fortune. I guess it's all in the perceived value of the thing.
I will say that despite its ridiculous price, the AOS nickel Mach3 handle with a barley grip pattern is the single nicest aftermarket handle I've ever seen, and not just for cartridges, but for any blade type. The balance and the finishing are outstanding on that thing, and it gives Edwin Jagger handles, which are truly excellent in and of themselves, a run for their money.
But they're handcrafted to ensure optimal comfort and proper balance! Bet yours and mine haven't been...We must be the suckers!
