This is what I don't get: why does it cost hundreds of dollars to make this exact same razor today?

Why can't we get a decent $5.00 lunch anymore?

Why can't we put a man on the moon anymore?

Something is wrong.........

The expensive artisan razors aren't remotely related other than holding a DE blade; whether such quality razors are required is a different matter.

I honestly would like to know how are they different from this old TTO (?) adjustable Gillette? I have used an old Gillette TTO many decades ago so I am familiar with them but I have only seen pictures and reviews of the modern adjustable DE's.

Thanks in advance for your response.
