I'm currently having that debate with myself about shaving mugs. Do I use them as I collect them (and possible de-value them?) or do I leave them out for display only (but it would be so cool to try them out)? I think it's called a conundrum. I'm assuming I'll have that quandry with straight razors too. If you have a lot of money and spend $300 or more on a shaving mug (or razor) as a collectible would you care as much if it got devalued? Or as a "collector" would you have bought it for its beauty and just want to admire it?

This is what goes on in your brain when you wake up at 3 am and read the Forums.
