    '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;

    I almost think you have more razors than I have blades! :) Nice setup though!

    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:

    Thank you, my friend. :happy088:
    It's a little light on the "software", but I'm working on it!

    Oh I'd rob you any day :)

    Is #5 bottom row a long or short handle?

    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..:happy088:

    That's totally not Bette Davis. That is somebody's grandmother though.

    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.

    If you're lusting for razors more than Bette Davis then you're the one with the problem not me :D

    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
