By the way I have the basic polished and had the mirror finish. There are minor differences in the shine vs the mirror finish, but I find them hard to detect. No way I would pay the high up-charge for the mirror finish.
That’s a good point. They may be selling it for less than the cost of a new mirror-polished razor based on today’s pricing, but for more than what they paid for their new mirror-polished razor that was purchased back when that was the only polished finish available.

I agree about the barely noticeable difference between his mirror- and basic-polished finishes, even when viewed side-by-side. For both of those reasons - the negligible visual difference vs the significant price difference, and the potential of not being able to recoup your cost on the secondary market - I would never spring for the mirror polish today. Just doesn’t make sense.
