'Dedicated' three shelves for my shaving stuff. Still moving things around and trying to figure out how to add another 10 razors and some boxes but here it is for now;
Lol, actually I don't know. The photo and frame came in a lot of razors I bought and I like it. I'm thinking some 1930's-or-so Hollywood actress. Maybe someone can identify her for me I've even included her in some past SOTD photos:
This is my humble den: Razors - top row (l to r) 1958 Executive (in case) (24kt replated by Razorplate) 1947-50 Aristocrat (in case) 1957 Ball-end Tech Late 40's fat handle Tech (missing from pic) NEW SC - bar handle NEW LC - ball end New Standard Ball-end Old Type (family hierloom) 1907 Single Ring Unbranded open comb Merkur 41C "1904" Open Comb (in box) Simplex Military kit (unused/cased) Hoffritz Travel razor (cased) Bottom row (l to r) 1958 Super Speed TV Special 1957 Red Tip Super Speed 1980 Black Handle Super Speed 1975 Long Handle Super Adjustable Black Beauty 1970 Long Short Super Adjustable Black Beauty 1965 Slim 1958 Fat Boy (rhodium custom plated by RazorPlate) EJ DE89 Maggard "Frankenrazor" (matched with unknown handle) Late 40's fat handle Tech (nickel replate by RazorPlate)
Oops, I fixed the description. Yep, it's a short handle. Do I need to get an alarm on that cabinet? LOL
I agree with @DEfettish she looks like Betty Davis to me also. However what I'm really looking at and lusting for is your safety razor collection! VERY nice..
I kinda like it even more for some reason if it's just a random lady. The back is a mirror and the stand kinda swivels around. Guess someone really loved their wife/sister/grandma/daughter and wanted her close even when shaving. Neat.
Trying to bring some structure and organization to my current mess. It's a work in process, but I've decided that for now four of these shelves will do. Need to move some stuff around and clear the fourth shelf for shaving stuff then I should be all sorted. Sorry for crummy photos. This photo, especially, shows that I really need to tidy up the area and spread some of the stuff out to a fourth shelf. Hoping to have it more neatly laid out by this weekend
That collection is insane and impressive. You have a lot of exotic and unique razors from all over the world. I think it would be interesting to actually see some of them in action. If you had your own shaving video series, it would bring to light a lot of these forgotten beauties.
You have some beauties there. You don't live very far from me. Let me know if you ever need a house sitter
I knew you had a great collection of razors, but its really nice to finally see them in all their glory thanks for sharing the photos.
