I know Dude. I was looking at those things after I saw the price on the Mach IIIs.
I got the Straight at a shop in Detroit. I could have gotten it cheaper on-line, but for my first one, I wanted to get something I know would feel nice in my hands.
I used to get 2 weeks out of 3 blades, sometimes I'd go through 2 blades a week. That's ~ $6-7 a week, X 52 weeks = > $300. So far, I have in the vicinity of $250 invested in razors and parts 'n pieces, a good brush, a few soaps and stuff. I have more coming, but these will do me for life with a few $ in DE blades once a year.
Also, there is absolutely no comparison to how my face feels now after a shave.
EDIT:
If you want to get really fancy, it would be easy to spend $1500 on a razor and $500 on a brush.
Dan, sorry for the threadjack there dude.
