I'm really surprised that this is so expensive (MSRP and drop price). The razor alone from Muhle's own website (http://www.muehle-shaving.com/Shop/TRADITIONAL/Hobelrasur/Rasierhobel/Rasierhobel-von-MUEHLE-geschlossener-Kamm-Griffmaterial-Metall-verchromt.html) is cheaper than this, about 35 EURO without shipping. I can appreciate that the stand and the included razor blade might up the price, but this much?
Also, considering that 1 EURO = 1.06 USD (March 11, 2015), this all seems crazy!
Sorry for ranting, I live in the UK and have ties in Germany so seeing this price hike makes me cringe.
EDIT 1: I just did the maths, and from the Muhle's website, the R89 (standard) is 34 Euro, the RHM SR stand is 29.95 Euro, and a pack of 10 blades is 2.60 euro. So the total is 66.55 Euro ~ 70 USD not including shipping. Given this full calculation, I can see that the margin is actually very small, and given extra taxes/import/duties I can understand the MSRP and drop price a bit better for the US/Canada. Anyone in Europe, just buy locally.
