HomeLikeShaving Taiga adjustable razor DFS pass around

I tried to order the Titanium version, in Rub it was 36,000 which is $485 USD but it would not let me purchase it, when I switch to  English on the website it now becomes $600 USD.  Why the 25% increase?

The address must be somewhere in Russia for the price in Rub.

I understand having to pay in USD if I don’t live in Russia, but $485 is the current equivalent to 36000 Rub so why $600.  It essentially tells me I am paying extra as a foreigner for the same product.

there are exchange fees, too. I don't know how much the fees are, but do keep that in mind.

You can pay as ruble with Paypal without exchange fees, your bank might fee. 
But here, I understand that Homelike doesn't let foreign buyers using his paypal for Rub.

Does anybody know how is the titanium version compared to the stainless steel one?

Good morning
I will try to answer all your fair comments.
At the moment, there really is a difference on the site between the price in rubles and the price in dollars, which mainly consists of a very high bank commission for working with the Paypal service, Paypal itself, and a small percentage in the form of insurance for potential returns. Based on the frequent requests of our clients in connection with this issue, we decided to change the bank, with which we agreed on the best working conditions.
We hope that next week it will be possible to pay directly in rubles at the same cost for everyone. Most likely, we will have to refuse to work with Paypal in the future, since our new bank requires the removal of the cost of payment in dollars since we are located in Russia and must accept payments in our own currency. I would like to note that we issue all overseas orders with a low invoice, which will avoid additional customs duties.
Most of the steel version of the razor sold out in less than a day. The next batch of razors is already in production, including the open-head version.

Homelikeshaving Thank You for your explanation, I appreciate it .

I already bought the TI version at the 600+shipping mark. That's a nice gesture from Homelikeshaving  to go through the time and effort of setting up with a different bank to accommodate foreign customers. With the ruble payment option this is going to be almost a no brainer for someone like me who couldn't love the rex, and doesn't want to deal with the weight of the 2020/21 Sailor. Ill post my thoughts when it gets here.

Seems like the new 475 price is showing up on the English version. Cheers to those more patient than I ! Last time I make that mistake.

Taiga is very smooth adjustable razor, I am sure you will enjoy it. 

His new prices look very reasonable. 
$475 for Ti Adjustable, $200 For SS adjustable, and Start for $60. 
He also dropped shipping prices, too.

Just ordered my Titanium Taiga, looking forward to comparing it to my SS version. Thank You Homelikeshaving for making the changes.
