I like this manIf someone wants to pay you too much for your products for whatever reason, sell it to em..
A few days ago I was showing a friend some pictures of high end razors and he was very confused as to why they are so expensive, because as he put it - ''they are just small metal pieces that go together and they were meant only to hold blades in them and nothing else''.
And don't even get started talking about women's purses.Does your friend have a wife or girlfriend?
I wonder how either would react when he explained to her that “A diamond ring is just an overpriced piece of carbon that is stuck on a metal ring.” and “For the price of a diamond ring I can get several truckloads of coal.”
But then again, anyone with that kind of philosophy would probably live alone.
Besides, for some people the epitome of “art” might be a well built survival knife.

Not entirely. Even the cheaper grades are essentially rust-proof, and have a lighter weight. So they have (imo) some advantages over any type of so-called stainless steel (all types of which can rust, some more than others).Titanium, like steel, has many variations that determine quality and price. While with steel, it is almost always mentioned what exactly is used to make the razor, this is not the case with titanium. It just says tititan and that's it. But this is often low-quality, mid-level material at best, but not the highest quality.
So until they start detailing exactly what titanium alloy is used to make the istroment, it's just a marketing gimmick.
Plastic is also lighter and doesn't rust, but so what, no one wants a plastic razor.Not entirely. Even the cheaper grades are essentially rust-proof, and have a lighter weight.

First of all, some people actually do want plastic razors, and are even 3D printing them and selling their 3D plans so that others can print them if they want to.Plastic is also lighter and doesn't rust, but so what, no one wants a plastic razor.
Some people, (not all) buy titanium razors because they think that this luxury performance from the same titanium, from which high-tech elements are made, for example in aviation. BUT, that has nothing to do with this material. Firstly, because high-quality material is more expensive, secondly, because it is more difficult to process. This is what I mean when I say that details about the composition being used are deliberately not mentioned.
I am aware that this is just my personal preference and that it can't be generalized. For me, titanium is essentially the perfect weight for a razor.
me too!I prefer lighter; give me a razor around 50-70ish grams
This is, of course, a kind of child-like view of the world. I just purchased a $9,000 flute that is just a silver tube with holes in it. I play it in church along side of guitars that are just pieces of wood with strings stretched across them.A few days ago I was showing a friend some pictures of high end razors and he was very confused as to why they are so expensive, because as he put it - ''they are just small metal pieces that go together and they were meant only to hold blades in them and nothing else''.

IMO the magic is in the pinky butt rest. If one has good grip, extra weight is not a problem. A slippery, heavy SS handle on the other hand is a real detractor.That handle should be anathema to me... but it seems to disappear in use.
