I decided to pull out all my razors today to see if I could make some decisions of what to let go. In the picture you will count 76 razors. After I took the pictures, I found three others. Not pictured are four straights. So, technically I have 83 razors: SE, DE, injectors, and straights. They are mostly vintage razors. I have nine that were made in the 21st century. Oh, yes, I just remembered that I also have two cartridge razors not pictured, my Atra and a modern Dorko 3 blade cartridge razor. So, that makes 85. I must sell, trade, or pif probably about 20 of these razors. I may be slow doing it, but hopefully, I will get it done.
Big question. Is that Bakelite OC Slant the PAA OC Slant or the Fasan vintage razor? , Been looking for the vintage counterpart Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
If you have a '71 2nd quarter Black Beauty, keep me in mind. It would be my birth year and quarter . Best of luck parting with part of that nice collection. I know I would have a hard time
Slimming things down is always a tough one. Excluding sentimental items (my dads brush etc...), my rule of thumb is that if I haven't used it in over a year, then I would use it again to refresh my thoughts on it. If it was a razor that I liked and would use regularly, then I would keep it. If not, then it goes. Also duplicates tend to turn into clutter and I normally let them go during a purge. If it has been sitting unused for 2 years or more, then I let it go... Good luck.
Thanks for posting. I don't feel as bad now. I am right behind you. I am scared to count. If the wife catches me. Well I guess I will be dying with a razor in my hand. I hope if it happens I have a Scotch in the other. What a way to go. If you have an OC Damaskeene or a New Ever Ready 1909. I will take those off your hands Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Don't have that one. This is a pretty complete list. Jayaruh's Shave Den That is very good advice. Thanks. I was thinking something like that. I don't have those, but if I did they would probably be on the keep list. If I had more than one, I would certainly think of you.
I counted mine.... and I left a couple out, it turns out. So, yes, there will be a culling of the herd! I just have to wait a bit.
Haaaa, nice travel kit Jim. So, where is the rest of your collection? I don't consider it an "real problem" until you have to take at least 3 different pictures, just to show them all. So, keep up the collecting.
Forgive me that my memory is failing but is it you that has that old Spanish (?) 3-piece handle? Very interested if you'll be parting with it.
I've got about that many, but I'm lucky enough to be able to give most away & still keep 'em in the family. I've more than two dozen to cull out to get to my final half-dozen or so keepers. It'll be up to one of my grandsons whether or not to share them with his brothers (or his daddy).
