James Bond couldn't even afford this one. But I've put a down payment on one for Christmas...

Just like Obama Care, my grandchildren will finish paying for it... :D

There are apparently only two in stock because it wouldn't let me add three to my cart! Oh well, maybe next year.

Ouch! Must be one heck of a razor! Probably shaves 200x better than a $150 straight.

I admittedly know nothing about straight razors, but isn't that steel called damascus steel and not damascene?

It can be quite economical.
If you use one every single day for 82 years,
the cost per shave is only $1.

How much better is it than your average $18,000 razor?

Brian, I think the definition would be "something with the characteristic markings of damascus" which means it's a fake!!!! Not damascus, just marked like damascus.

It seems like any steel marked Damascus is a fake since nobody knows how the original Damascus steel was made although people have tried to reverse enginner it. However, it is not Damascene because Damascene means somebody from Damascus (male or female).
