This has been bugging me for a couple of days -- when does the step up in quality exceed the step up in price?
I can usually find Taylor's creams for <$16 per jar. AoS is a set $22. Harris/Trumper/T&H/Caswell are all 30-38, Penhaligon is $50. Other than a brand mentioned in the Robb Report, what do I get from Penhaligon that I won't from Taylor or AoS?
I think of this like I would for audiophile components: Why buy the $5000 Krell amp when I can get 95-98% of the utility from the Rotel one that costs $1299?
Any insights?
