Thread: We Cannot Take it With Us.

,,,, So what will you do with your collection when you pass?

This topic was briefly visited in a conversation that I had via PM with Ron (Utopian), when Pixel (William Barber) passed away. Ron stated that he would start the thread on this topic, but it has been a while & I will get it going for him. Ron can jump in when he returns.

The passing of Pixel really hit home to a lot of us & immediately the question of how to handle the large quantity of shaving equipment that he had at home came up. This question was first asked by his wife. Advice was given to her by the SRP Administration & myself on the options that were available. I spoke with Pixel's wife & offered her the assistance of our community here. To date, I have not heard any more from her and I have no idea what the family finally did with Pixel's shaving equipment.

Ron & I felt that a thread was appropriate so members could share ideas & information related to the disposition of their shaving equipment.

Some questions pertaining would be;

Do you have someone designated to take possession of your equipment?

Do you really know how much you have?

Do you know what usually happens to estates that go unclaimed?

Is your equipment in a will or do you even have a will?


We enjoy a lifestyle with wet shaving that has shaped each of us in one way or another. In the past 2 years we have lost a Master strop maker and a Master brush maker. Will your skills pass with you or will someone else carry the torch?
