I will agree.
$145-180 is on the high end for razor heads.
However, I don't think $100 is a 'realistic' price point for their heads taking the quality and competition into consideration.
(Note: "Realistic" is contextual here taking other similar offerings into consideration and what people are willing to pay - not what I could whip up in my make-belief tool shed
).I believe Wolfman, who is the closest I can think of when it comes to quality, is about $135-140 for the head alone.
Knowing his waiting list I'd say he has priced them 'realistically'.
The handles are priced a lot more competitively at $50 which is, once again using poor James as a comparison, 50% off what a Wolfman handle will set you back.
Ideally a pricing where maybe $25 was moved from the head to the handle (or simply lowered) would, I think, position them really well with the competition. The quality is absolutely there but the pricing could be a tad lower.
A, completely made up, price list of $115/$140 for the heads and $50 for the handle would, I think, be a very attractive place. You could walk away with a full OC razor for $190 (compared to Wolfman, ok...I really need to start finding other reference points..but I'm lazy and the quality IS similar) where you'd pay about $235 for one.
We'll see what the future holds. They make one heck of a razor though
And, so does Wolfman
