1. 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.

  6. 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.

  18. 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.
