The Collection, as she stands

**JimR** · 04-19-2009, 04:06 AM

Well, here are the razors that make up my "Collection".

First the mysterious "1893 World's Fair Razor" which is apparently from a Japanese company called "Diane". Maybe.

My Genco "Fluid Steel", which appears to possess some magical properties of smoothness...

A Star Works Solingen "FAMA". I haven't shaved with it yet, but it's a nice one to look at....

The huge Cornetta, in desperate need of rescaling and a bit of edge repair.

My Tosuke, which satisfied my Kamisori RAD.

We have a Wapi in the original scales, a great shaver from our very own Hoglahoo.

There's my Kropp, my first straight and a lovely Sheffield shaver.

And last but not least, my Beardsley & Alvord "Empire Razor", out of restoration and ready to be honed.

My DA is not pictured, as it's still a work in Progress.

Thanks! But no razors have left my possession...these are all I've ever touched. I have a feeling a couple might end up in the classifieds after some TLC.

Thanks. That one's my star, as you can tell from other comments. I've put a lot of work into it, both physicially and mentally, so I plan to be buried with it.

The Tosuke is pretty small and light. It's nimble, but took some getting used to. After I figured out how to shave with it, it lost a lot of its allure...

That second is indeed a beauty. Just...massive. Not like a bit chopper, I'm sure...more like a frigate. Can't wait to shave with it!

All very nice, the Japanese Razor's have always interested me, just don't know if I have the skill set yet to use one.

Its a good start, and like Xman Ive got my eye on that last one!

I don't think you're addicted yet.

Love em all but that last Beardsley & Alvord "Empire Razor" is just plain gorgeous and that big Cornetta looks like a killer blade.
