What razor would you want to pass down in your family history?

Some of us are fortunate enough to be able to shave with a razor that our father - or even grandfather used - and know how much such an item is treasured.

A lot of use have accumulated more razors than our father and grandfather owned - combined.

If there's one razor you'd like to see carried down to your son/daughter and even further down than that as time goes on - which razor would it be? Something that in 2o97 is proudly displayed in the bathroom-unit of the small, yet cozy martian colony pod where your great grand child is working on a terraforming project - or wherever they might be....

(Note: If you don't have children of your own maybe a niece/nephew/imaginary kid - and the razor doesn't have to already have a history...it can start with you).

 

My father's Schick Revere...a great shaver as well as possessing sentimental value.

 

Since I don't own a razor used by my father or grandfather, I'll opt for a less sentimental razor but one with some historical notoriety.
This 'Rebel Razor' made circa 1850-1860 by George Wostenholm & Sons. I've never shaved with it—and have no plans to—and the razor is destined for a display box I'm currently working on.
By 2097, this old gal will be over 240 years old…

well since I dont have any that were passed down to me, I would have to say my FB...it looks brand new, has box, instructions, and blades...but I would say my "family" of gillette adjustables.

 

Well, I would like to see all my ABC sets passed down to any surviving member of my family tree. If I could not bequeath all of them to my heir, than at least I would like to see my silver Empire ABC set passed on. It is a beautiful and correct set, and should be enjoyed. Perhaps by 2097 on Mars they will have perfected the eternal razor blade, and the razors new owner might never need to replace the blade in it.

 

My own created razor.... The prototype is in my avatar (3D-printed in plastic). Once it is fully developed, it will get printed in stainless steel. That is something I would like to pass down.

 

I'll be giving my oldest grandson my birthday year and quarter Gillette Slim.

 

the Stahly would be the one that in the future some descendant would be likely to marvel over.
the Berkeley looks the most futuristic.
the single ring most elegant
progress is my best shave

 

I don't have any kids, but I do have 2 nephews. I'd pass down my 24kt 1958 Executive and my 1958 rhodium plated Fat Boy. And, oh yes, my great-uncle's Old Type. (Sorry, that's 3.)

 

herm, you can adopt me, if your looking for razor heirs.

 

My whole collection.

 

I'd be fine with passing any of my razors down if and when I have kids. I'll pass my guns onto the ones that I know won't sell them.

 

My sons get my Guns; Knives, Razors, & Pipes! My daughter gets my Beer Steins; Coffee Mugs, & Bottle Openers. My Bibles go to my Children & Grandchildren. I'm just trying to figure out what to keep for myself?

 

I want to pass down my birth year and quarter Gillette Slim and a couple of the straights.

 

OK, son. BTW, I'm a little short on cash, think you can help out dear old dad?

 

This belonged to my grandfather and was used when he served on the battleship USS Illinois. It will hopefully never leave our family.

 

The boys in my family will have to fight over my collection of vintage Gillettes. The tough decisions will be: who gets my father's Executive...and who gets my daily favourite, my Gillette Canadian Heavy Tech.

 

It would have to be my Gillette 1958 (D1) toggle. But I have a spreadsheet with the initial cost and current value of all my razors, using the bay, so they just don't dump them in a box at a garage sale.
