Why a £200 razor?

Which is now £400, right?

@JayGee summed it up beautifully. Don't forget that CNC machining doesn't scale as a production process either, so if it takes you an hour to machine a part at £50 an hour, machining two will take you two hours.

There is no reason at all to own one except that they're really, really nice.

If you're going to collect slants you've gotta have at least one stainless steel example. Anybody got an S1 for sale?

This question or some iteration, gets asked over and over, and TBH I don't understand why. There must be something in your life where you just like nice things. Don't know what it is, maybe you have a thing for first edition books. Why? They read the same as a paperback. Did you ever buy a belt with that hand tooling, or a shotgun with the nicer wood on the stock? How about the leather seats in your car? Why do the plants on your front stoop sit in a fancy planter? The plain terra cotta works just as well.

Maybe a dude just likes to walk into his bathroom and have something nice sitting on the counter. If his kids aren't missing dinner, or being teased about crappy clothes, then he shouldn't have to explain why, either.

Spoken like a true fellow American. For you foreigners, the translation is, 'F*ck off! It's my money, you commie-pinko!'

That's kind of funny. And while it is a part of it, I just find it an odd thought, considering every person I know like something in their life to be nice. Sometimes I completely don't understand it AT ALL, but I never question why, because I know the answer: They like it and it makes them happy.

Okay you gung-ho Capitalists, it's time to break out the unobtainiums and do some willie-waving! (Figuratively speaking, @Fergiebilly )

I thought this thread would end with something along the lines of "because that's how I want to spend my money" and that is fine. I was wondering if there was something important that I'm missing about the expensive razors.
