Guys, this is the collection so far, I have 2 hanging strops ( 1 pasted, 1 daily user) that aren't in the picture. What's missing that still needs to be added in your opinions? And RAD is still in full swing and there are 2 more brushes on order.

Where's the hones? :shrug:
Looks like you still need some jnats, a kanayama, a couple of iwasaki tamahagane in kamisori and western styles, and a morris and forndran makes every brush collection complete (although I do tend to prefer my shavemac d01 2 band lately)
Whenever I put anything in the classifieds you need it ........... keep a lookout ........... :w
I've decided I'm not going to start buying stones for another 6 months or so yet. Moving to a new house and then I'll buy the stones and bench grinder and everything else for resto and scale work
Where's the best place online to buy Morris and forndran? I've seen them on here and they're beautiful but no idea where to buy.Quote:

You have MWF, a brush and a razor. Collection is complete.
Collections are never complete. Even if you had a valet to shave you every morning, you would still find something else to add, har!
Is there anything you guys would add though? (Other than honing equipment)
Is there anything you need to have a complete set of tools to shave ? Other than that, it is just what catches your fancy and what you want. Nothing wrong with liking a particular razor, brush or strop. Have you got any old Sheffield wedges ? Just whatever you take a liking to and decide you want AFAIC. Looking at the photos you've posted I'd say you've got a real nice assortment of shaving gear already.Quote:

I would say a cabinet could be in order :rofl2:
Maybe a modern custom razor... Or a Dirtybird Scuttle...
Speaking of cabinets ......... this is the Simpson collection, about 5-6 years ago, of DrP, A member of various shaving forums who lives in the Netherlands IIRC ;

You do not appear to need any more soap or AS balm. I don't see a bottle of Knize Ten on your counter. Or a bottle of Azzaro pour Homme. Those would complete your collection...
I will look into those AS cau. I cabinet will be happening in the new house just trying to plan what I want it to look like. Wow, what a brush collection!!!

I have a couple of customs, one from Koraat and one from Nate's Straights. They both offer French points I believe, although I didn't go for that with mine. They just seem too pointy, the last thing I need is more sharp edges and points next to my face :tameshigiri: :DQuote:

No need to add stuff, you better get rid of some, send it to me for safe disposal.
The scuttle on the far right in the picture is a dirty bird brush scuttle that I love dearly. I'm thinking about adding a large moss scuttle to try out so I can say I've tried out the 2 bestQuote:

You can use it anyway you like, but unless you've got really large knots/lofts, or you want to lather in the scuttle, stick with the original smaller one. BTW, Jim Ayars, formerly the owner of the now sold Vintage Blades LLC, designed the lather bowl that maker Sara Bonneyman sells with the Moss. Great scuttle IME.Quote:
