Ya, i kinda figure they might be for the money, but outdoor life magazine or what ever its called was bragging them up. thanks for the info.

The ones with the "slight color imperfections" are only $129.99.

Don't have any Demo Razors at this time but do have new ones! But from time to time we do have Demos of those too! Thanks!
