    A pair of recent acquisitions made me realize that many straight razors have various animals stamped into their shanks. Dubl Duck, Jaguar and the HMC whale are a few of them.
    Post pics of your shank critters and let's see what is in this zoo.

    And in the bird section of the zoo, we find an Inko bird, or parakeet.

    Could be some fun later to pull out the collection :)

    Not my favorite part of the zoo... the reptile section, but is a favorite brand: ERN

    Turn to a modern option in Hart Steel.

    And finally the section of the zoo that not many see :). Nothing like a cross between a lion and an eagle... the Griffon

    Or Griffin or Gryphon or...
    Fun part of the zoo.

    Every zoo needs an aquatic monotreme for the collection to be complete.

    Sometimes they're farm animals at the petting part of the zoo.

    Today, in the aquarium we find the Swedish Berg Shark.
    Roaming the Baltic Sea, its diet consists mostly of Eskil's tuna.

    I went looking for a mythical beastie razor...
    Didn't find any with dragon marked shanks, but did stumble across one of the most jaw droppingly gorgeous razors I've ever seen. I know it doesn't fit the theme here, but had to share it anyways.

    Edit: OMG! He is in Corvallis, Oregon! I might have to plan a personal visit one of these days.
