And on a related note:
Define "best." There's a lot of bars out there for over $100 that look about the same, and do about the same thing, with minor differences to differentiate them.
Meanwhile those wacky Merkur owners are using Hardware store angle iron and spending about $20 complete for something most people just won't see. And, yes, it's functional.
