Hello everyone. I've been over at B&B for a little while now so some of you might know me from there. I got bitten by the collecting bug very hard and in the last four months I've managed to aquire somewhere between 80 and 90 razors of various makes and models although the vast majority are Gillette DE's. I'd been looking to collect something for years but never found the right thing until I accidentally stumbled across razors when I was looking for information on blades on the internet. Being a bit of a student of history, they seemed ideal. The best part about them is that you can actually use them and they are as good today as when they were made. My Holy Grail is a Gillette double ring. I let one slip passed when I'd just started collecting and I haven't seen another since but I won't make the same mistake twice. I'm 45 years old, I live in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia and I'm an IT Operations Risk Manager for the largest telco in the country. I'm married to a lovely lady (22 years) who doesn't understand my hobby of collecting razors but is pretty happy to let me spend what I want to on them. We don't have any children but we have two pugs that keep us pretty busy. Cheers
I saw one for the first time just the other day, about 30 minutes after I first heard about it. Welcome to The Den!
Welcome to TSD Mate! Hope you get the double ring to complete your exhaustive collect. Very impressive! I see one every now and then but it's usually beyond my meager wallet and it goes in a nano-second! Good Luck!
