Razor porn
This article came up in my Google news search on straight razors, thought I'd pass it along. Sure wish I had the cash to pick one of these babies up. Razor Porn

Not for me - don't mind the inset viewer widget too much (bit of a laugh if nothing else) but the razor looks pretty mundane and it's massively overpriced.

Starting out with a straight razor is like losing your virginity. You build up the anticipation, want it to be the best in the world and 9 times out of 10 get let down. In time you will learn that practice improves your technique.
And lets face it- in both cases, practice is half the fun

That's not razor porn; that's porn on an ugly razor.

 Pretty much what I thought, if I had the money I would still passit by, theres better to be had on the bay for a fraction of the money! Id rather have the money. For 750-1200$ I could have something from zowada or harner etc. why spend that much on a production razor. Sorry Tony but the thing just looks so average.

Not to mention that it is a replaceable blade razor, aka shavette.
Go to the razors website, click on the razor link and the 2nd pic shows that the blade is composed of 2 parts.

His wife reported he was using his Iwasaki Razor and while shaving his neck it just seemed to have a mind of its own and came to life and cut his throat. Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.

Not for me. There are countless other blades I'd buy for that much loot.The "10,000 year old mamoth ivory" struck me funny-its not like you see many MAMMOTHS younger than that
