I believe I saw a post on here where someone (maybe that was you) commented on the price increase. I've only been into straights since about Feb '08 and started looking at prices around then. I certainly don't look at the prices on new razors often enough to notice if they are changing, but I do remember they were always more than I thought was worth spending, esp given what I could get on the BST for the same price.
The only thing I really do remember (other than that a 7-8/8 Friodur would run around $170
) is that TI's tended to be on the pricey side. So, without knowing anything about the Gnome, I clicked on the link expecting a hefty price tag.
