Oh, yes. I already have a razor that could go on the shelf, but...it can't go in the LC slot because the dates would be out of order. My OCD would be out of control. An Astra blade is in the offing next. We'll see.

ROFLMAO. I think both! You obviously can't put a 59 Fatty between a New SC and a New Standard. It just CAN'T be done.
No wonder you enjoy shaving. You have some pretty impressive hardware and software. Ikon, nice shaver, beautiful handle. Gotta love the el Druida brush. Goat milk soap. Brooks Brothers 1818. All excellent stuff, Mark.
Think about it. Rolling On Floor Laughing My.... Get it? Can't finish it due to TSD language standards.
Thanks TSD is my first rodeo. BTW a fatty is one of the razor I've yet to acquire. To expensive online. I'll keep checking in the wild. Same for a Sheraton. I may pick up a Merkur Progress soon though.
See the slot on the top shelf? That's where the LC goes. Top shelf is OC's and Techs. Bottom is mostly TTO's and SE's and my Stahly. Can't put something from one shelf on the other. It might upset the balance of the universe.
I'm cleaning up the Fatty. May send it to Razor Emporium if I can't get it adjusting properly. Just found a rhodium 37 Sheraton. And, I agree, a Progress would be good!
Don, after many years with one razor, an OS mug, and drug store shave pucks & brushes, I'm enjoying some of the finer things, you bet. Unfortunately, the Goat's Milk Soap is not one of them. Putting it in a Shave Stick helped a little but it still lathered poorly and the skin care is for the birds. I would of loved it 30 years ago. Thanks for your very kind words.
I checked out the El Druida brushes. I would be hard pressed to decide between him and Wolf Whiskers. They both have some beautiful pieces. Speaking of beautiful pieces... I'm waiting on a knot for a handle I did a deal for with Jim, @Jayaruh. It's JR #24. I knick named it "The Rook" because it reminded me of a chess piece from one of our chess sets. I stained it in what I call Mediterranean Olive and coated it with a few layeres of waterborne poly. Nice and shiny. I'll post pics after I set the knot... WD 24mm Silver Tip.

Injectors and SE are off to the right on the bottom. Hard to see. There's 33 razors in there somewhere (at least count).

Friday's Dove Men Face Wash Williams Mug Shaving Soap Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip Merkur 15c OC/Gillette Super Speed* 1947 BYR Personna SS CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Pinaud Vegetal The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip brush. First pass with my Merkur 15c Open Comb razor with a Personna Super blade followed by second pass with the Gillette Aristocrat (1947 Birth Year Razor) gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Lilac Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
