    You have seen the pics taken last week - I've since got the additional shelves I needed and have spread the collection out a bit more.

    The stuff to be cleaned up for sale, restoration/repair projects and assorted stuff are in the old cabinet.

    I've sorted them into TTO and non-TTO, one type in each cabinet. These are the top shelves of the non-TTO

    Top shelf - with a few SEs and assorted stuff in there as well. The Bostonian is the engraved one that we tracked down the history for.

    Second shelf - I really like the almost NOS Criterion

    The third shelf is Single Rings and various Old Types

    The fourth shelf is where the Double Rings start. I really like the British Single Ring in the 2nd and 3rd pics and am VERY happy with my British slide clasp case in there too!

    Next shelf is the 'traveling' shelf - well except for the random Double Ring! The majority of the shippers on these and the single rings have matching serial numbers to the razors - which is fantastic!

    Another Traveler then the start of the Pocket Edition sets. The Traveler, which is not in great condition unfortunately, has the old Times Square ribbon on it. I've not seen many of these around.

    OK, maybe a few British #77 and #88s slipped in here too!

    I do like the British Aristocrats - although the prices on eBay at the moment are outrageous on some of these! The Coronation #66 matches a similar #58 and the Coronation Tech in an earlier pic.

    The Christmas and presentation sets are nice too

    The Presidents are pretty fine looking razors too - I have a sweet spot for them!

    Of course the ubiquitous Toggle

    Last but not least some more modern Travelers including a rather unique #66 traveler set

    Thanks for putting up with these L-O-N-G posts to start the thread - hope you enjoyed the slightly better pics.

    Wow, that has to be one of the finest collections anywhere.
    Certainly exponentially better than anything I've seen. Thank you for sharing.

    RAD much?? :angry017: I's sure there are much worst things to spend money on. I can see how easy it is for one to acquire so many razors. I almost have my 3-7th razor coming in the mail and I have only started shaving 2 or three weeks ago. It is probably hard to sell them after spending time cleaning them up!!!
    EDIT: Props on the collection though.

    PORN! Love it. Especially the pigskin Australian traveller set. I've only seen one other.

    It was on some guys blog. If I ever run across it again I'll send you a link. He didn't have much info either, aside from the fact that it was made of pigskin and only sold in Australia.

    Yep and indeed this is the one and the same set. I paid Shaun a premium price to keep it in Australia when he was looking to sell on eBay because he needed some cash! I've not looked at the thread for a while but will chase the others who comment on having one - thanks :)

    Thank you so much for sharing your fabulous collection! Can I ask you how long it took you to assemble it so far?
