Thread: She thinks it's a great idea

Don't have any pics as yet, but will try to get one together. For now here is a list of what I have stashed away:

1/5 tube of Florena
Lervia
Godrej
Tom's of Main - can't recall which one
Spieck

Have had in the past:

Kiss My Face Lavender
Kent

Got my eyes on a lot more although I am trying to run things down a bit before I write another order.

This is funny (and a bit scary!) - to think that some of us got into straight razors because it looked like a good way to save money...

As long as you use all that stuff and enjoy it!

I got into it partly becuase its extreemly rare for razors not to become fmaily herilooms. Have you ever heard of someone proudly holding up a Trac II saying its from my pop.

Yep - I have that sort of thing too. I've got 2 of my great grandfather's razors that were sitting in Dad's garage for the last 30 years. (I'm using one, but the other has a crack - so might not be repairable... but we'll see).

All the best,
Michael.

That's an impressive collection. But I think you have other problems aside from your shaving cream AD-- I'm talking about the way you've meticulously created a second collection which just about perfectly matches the first... only in reverse? Now *that* seems a bit odd...

I got those at Wal-Mart in the kitchen appliance department. I think they were called sugar bowls at about $3. Not sure if you have a Wal-Mart or not where you are at.

My recommendation Michael is to send, the straight with the crack, off to Lynn Abrams for $2 plus shipping he will tell you if its reparable or if you should simply put it in a display cabinet. I think its worth a little bit to see if the master of straight razors can get it to shaving quality.

Ah yes BJ just as I remember it:-) I don't think any of us could match that collection!
