What makes the BBS-1 so sought after? I am aware that Wolfman razors have a great quality and have every reason to believe the hype but from reading through DFS and other shave sites it seems as though the BBS-1 is one of the most sought after shave related items? Why?
As a bit of background, I have now been wet shaving for almost 7 years. I've acquired any number of great products in this hobby. I've tried all sorts of razors and even remember when the Joris razor was the must have followed by any number of other razors (Cobra, Mongoose, etc). So is the BBS-1 just hype? Sought after as a collectible? Frankly, the acquisition cost from LASS is a lot, but the amount folks are willing to spend to purchase or "trade" for it on the secondary market seems, frankly, obscene.
Full disclosure - I had forgotten that I was on the waitlist for a BBS-1 and recently acquired one (no, it's not for sale or trade) from said waitlist but given the buzz am too afraid to use it!
