Would you pay $100,000 for a razor?

$100,000 can buy many things: a brand new sports car, a boat, or a ridiculously luxurious vacation, just to name a few. But if you already have a new Audi in your driveway, a yacht at the marina, and just got back from a trip around the world, perhaps you'd rather drop your cold hard cash on a limited edition iridium razor. The pricey item is crafted by Zafirro, a company which seems to have just one product in its lineup, and just 99 of the "Zafirro Iridium" razors will be made.

The handle of the razor is made entirely of iridium, an extremely scarce and expensive metal that is so dense it could survive a drop into molten lava. Most iridium that appears on Earth is the result of crashed meteorites. The blades of the beast are made from artificially grown sapphire, making them hypoallergenic, not to mention many orders of magnitude sharper than your average Bic. The company boasts a 10-year blade life, and backs it up with free sharpening for a decade if the razor ever dulls.

awesome...when watermark reads this he will

:blowup:
 
If it were an iridium blade straight razor I might. Blades are expensive, and if I still shaved my head it would probably save me money in the end.
 
Yeah scratch that idea about saving money. I used 1 pack of Fusion blades a month shaving my head, which currently cost about $16. If I lived to 84 and still shaved my head, I'd have only spent about $12,000 on razor blades.
 
About 6 years ago I saw an ad in The New Yorker for a $20,000 cell phone. It was jeweled-up and shit. Imagine the resale value of it today; worth more if the stones were picked off of it.

There's a device out there that works on the same principle as the razor strap that will re-sharpen disposable razor blades. I have a friend who has one and he says the typical disposable razor like a fusion will last him well over year. That's just one, not the whole pack.

Well its a moot point, since I no longer shave my head, just pray for baldness.
