I know people don't believe me, but the first razor I ever bought was an RS-10 with both base plates for $365. It was one of the last ones sold. Where Raw Shaving was closing, I figured this would be the lowest risk way to try a safety razor for the first time, so I pulled the trigger extra fast when I heard the news. I had been reading the forums here for months and drooling over the RS-10 even though I had never shaved with anything other than a cart or elect. My family declared the RS-10 an heirloom when they saw how much I got into wet shaving.
I recently bought another used one for about the same amount--a friend cut me a good deal on something really nice. I don't regret either of these two, and probably never will.
The ones I regret are all <$100. I don't do the same research at this price and sometimes get a little trigger happy. One of my favorites is in this price range though.
