So you guys want perfection eh? If thats the case you had better move to a different century.
I think if you buy a product and its perfect no matter if its factory made or handmade your just plain lucky. The only real concern to me, is the "defect" a minor cosmetic thing or some major problem or something that will affect its performance and secondly will the maker correct the problem if it bothers us that much.
I think those that question prices on these "super razors" would probably never buy one anyway. You can't quantify the prices in practical terms. A guy driving a Honda Civic and who thinks its the best car in the world would never buy a Mercedes, its just not worth it to him.
Personally I have a maestro and it came perfect and shaved perfect out of the box. I recently got a Williams Razor. Its a wonderful razor too but it needed touch up honing to get it to shave to its potential. I also noticed the bevel on the razor is very uneven so I guess you can say it wasn't perfect. At its price point its still a fantastic bargin to me and its a very high quality razor, very different than the maestro so its hard to compare the two.
In the end buying one of these razors is a personal decision we all make. Shave quality is not one of the main concerns because that factor can be had for a fraction of the price.
Well said Sir
