No doubt this will be a contentious issue that make do more harm than good...
While I am now quite happy with DE shaving, and would recommend it to anyone, I still don't know how to answer this question; what makes a £200 razor so much better than the £20-£30 ones?
I can see what happens as you from the sub-a-tenner to the £20-£30 range; build quality, materials and finish all improve dramatically. A good razor will last many years, so spending £30 isn't silly, and is a lot more sensible than spending £10 every six months or so. But what does the extra £170 get you?
It can't just be the rarity value, after all The Shave Lounge (other retailers are available) has multiple razors at over £200 that are off the shelf. Is it possibly just because it's there?
(I am probably asking the wrong people. I do remember the story about an audio company that sold cables up to £1000 per meter, their best equipment could tell the difference between a £500 per meter cable and the £1000 per meter stuff, but the sort of people spending that money on audio equipment would always claim a better sound...)
