    Haven't you been paying attention Jorge? We don't do "need" here. The goal is to: Own. Every. Single. One! :D

    LOL, don’t I know it! I keep reducing my inventory razors only to replace the ones I sold with more razors. I went on a hiatus for a year and a half I told my wife I was done, LOL we are never done apparently.I’m running out of space that that I had to the point where I built myself a display cabinet and fill that up no I’m looking for a china hutch or a curio cabinet to display my razors and give back my wife some room I took in the bathroom

    I have plenty of room in my three display cabinets for any of your razors that you can't find a place for. :p:D:lyrtuy5:

    It was about 12ish years ago but I picked it up at a local flea market for $50. Another $20 for the LED light strips which I have plugged into a smart WiFi plug outlet that automatically turns on every morning when I tell my Google Home Hub assistant "Hey Google, good morning." when I wake up. It's a Google Home automated routine I have set up that turns on all sorts of things, including my living room TV and my coffee maker, when I tell it "good morning". Too much sugar for a dime!
