I have four straights and a shavette. I love em all the same. Ralf Aust is only current mass market maker I'd consider, if I collected razors.
I have 4 traditional straight razors that I use every week; PRC Hydra, Ralf Aust, Brian Brown, Dovo Best. I also have 2 shavettes a Feather and a Dovo. My favorite traditional would have to be the Aust, it feels great. The Feather is my goto razor in a hurry. I would like to get another Brian Brown custom some day. I have some fossilized dinosaur bone that I would like to have integrated into a set of scales, but that project is going to have to wait a bit.
No buy july, sounds fitting. You have some nice ones inbound, lets explore those. Your gonna get in hot water, better evaluate your circumstances.
It's really not safe to leave that many blades around the house! I know a guy near Denver who might be able to help....
Simply moving them won't lessen the danger. The issue is too high of a concentration in one location. Dissemination is the solution.
Boy, this thread has been fun to read! I have 6 that I have shaved with and 3 more that are look-at or in restoration. My favorite is my Wosty IXL. My numbers are low, maybe one of you more fortunate fellas could help...
Awww.. I only have one! I want to get some more but I promise myself NO BUY for the rest of the year.
