The Millennium Collection

**Kenrup** · 05-31-2009, 12:29 AM

Finally here it is. I've been working on this for about six months. After collecting them, I would restore one at time as I worked on batches of other restorations. They were all a mess when I got them, some even had broken scales, most had rust on the blades. All the scales are original as are all the blades. I repined each with original style pins. They are all shavers. I call them the Millennium Collection as I estimate their total combined ages at over a thousand years. These are not for sale.

Those are truly some old timers you have collected.

Stunning pieces I would say.

Gret set! Which one do you consider the oldest, and what is your best shaver of the bunch?

The oldest is the Tally Ho, it's pre-1820. The best shaver is the W&B Celebrated Hollow Ground for Barbers Use. It's the only one that is not a full wedge. The Reynolds is also very good.
