I managed to get an Executive Shave Co Outlaw with a standard and mild head off eBay for £70.00. I'm not sure I'd pay the full price.

It's easy to throw money at a problem. Well, it is if you have money throw.
What's really interesting is how cheap you can get a good razor. This Fisher was only £13 on ebay. Rust spots were all superficial. My own honing skills are pretty dire so I've only had one, difficult shave so far but if it was sharpened up properly I'm sure it would be a lovely little razor.

Mine's the refurbished N4 slim that I bought from Razor Emporium for $134, which turned out including shipping and insurance to be just under £130 in total.
In reality, they sourced it and then completely refurbed it for me, so I wasn't too bothered as it's like a brand new razor and I could have ended up with a complete pile of crap for not that much less doing it all myself.
I think my best buy is the 1948 Brit Tech in absolutely superb condition for £28 on flea-bay.
Cheapest is an Ever Ready 1912, from approx. 1930s for £8.75 delivered! Still gives a super shave, although I had to do quite a bit to the case to make it presentable and remove the 'old' stink.

I've bought various things like a near-enough unused 7 O'Clock razor in the bakelite case for a couple of quid at an antiques fair, which was cheap because my beady eye spotted that there was a chip out of the case.
On the expensive side, I've bought a Rex Ambassador at full whack, but I think the most I spent in one go was to buy a set of Timeless bits, with baseplates, caps and handles in different styles and blade gaps. That was a fiver shy of £400, plus another £95 in VAT, Parcelforce and so forth i.e. £490 all up. That was in 2016, and my reasoning (?) at the time was that it would be better to get all the bits I wanted and take the financial hit in one go, rather than messing about with several small deliveries, which might have cost even more.
