    For those of you who are fortunate enough to be allowed to display all of your razors and other goodies at the sink, you definitely have an advantage over me. Of course, my problem may be more a matter of logistics. :o

    Such a show off! Can I stick my hand in there and take one? Kind of like a candy store display. :D

    I remember after visiting the dentist as a kid he had a drawer where you could go dig through and pick out a toy or some stickers. This is so much better than that.:rofl

    Notice the box of band aids sitting prominently right on top. Maybe I won't be sticking my hand in there with out a butcher's glove on. :D

    using and collecting...my argument

    now bill, this is where you and I definately differ ,my wife says why did i buy another when you already have so many......my answer.....cosI like them and its pretty...thats why she bought the torey with the tartan scales from you....and it is beautiful

    However I do love your storage and man are they clean looking...mmm...envy...I think so however unlike yourself and joe you give them all new life...i just give them a new jacket...reason for a collection like that is new life into old razors...as well as an awesome collection, my reason, I love getting them and collecting them, my restoration abilities should now improve when i move into my new house in SC....i got a big workshop...and we close on wednesday...yeeehaaa

    Hi Bill and Simon! Welcome to America Simon. I've been out of the loop but I thought Simon from Scotland seemed familiar. And thanks Bill for the Shave Den heads up. (I also want to say hi to everyone else some familiar names some new to me.)

    Now to get back on topic. They were getting rid of a beautiful solid oak document cabinet (from 1953) at work. It's about the same size as a file cabinet however with only one file drawer at the bottom. The rest of the drawers consist of twelve 1.5" deep and three 3" deep drawers for laying documents flat. Guess who had their eye on it for his straight razors?

    So dreams can come true. And for free! Sorry Gerstner.

    Yes I'll be posting pics. Eventually.

    John

    Welcome to The Shave Den John!

    Can't wait to see the pics of your cabinet. I know what type of cabinet you are talking about, and I bet it is perfect for storing straights.

    Apology...

    I have to apologize. My first pic wasn't really a true representative image of my storage for a few of my razors. I forgot to pull the drawer out all the way... :o
