Thread: What will happen to your straight shaving related collection after you die?

For a young guy like me that's a depressing thought 😐

I have no idea or interest in the value of my kit but I'm hoping my son will take up the mantle before I'm gone.

my daughter who is 8 yrs old right now will get them as she has her own shaving kit an shaves with me every time I shave. She loves it an asks me all the time if we can shave again. So I believe she will get them an if she has sons they will be passed on.

My daughter often sits in the bathroom watching me "smooth my face" and between passes she "smooths my face" with a brushful of lather. She's almost 3.

It's great fun 😒

Yes it is, she loves it I bought her a brush an a mug an she lathers cheap shaving cream an shaves with a little toy disposable razor with a mirror that holds it.

If you care about what happens to any of your things mention them specifically in your Will and who they are to go to. Also be sure your Will is up to date at reasonable intervals. Nothing like naming a person as executor/executrix of your estate and when the time comes they have predeceased you.

In any event, I really don't care what happens to any of my shave gear after I die; won't need it then. The major things that I do care what happens to are taken care of.

Well Bob, at least your co-workers didn't present YOU with this book when you retired. My closest co-worker was considering getting me one as a "don't let the door hit you on the way out" sort of gift.

On the other hand, this item isn't such a bad idea for those who don't know where to start. I guess I'm in an unusual spot myself..... I only have the Mrs. to worry about, and I do try to make sure everything is taken care of, if it's me first. It's not so much that I worry what's going to happen with my stuff, but rather that she won't get what it's worth, and I'm not telling her until I'm gone, or I'll be going sooner rather than later!

I'm actually planning on trimming back to my most cherished items, the rest I'll move before I'm gone.... or at least I HOPE I'll move them before I'm gone.

Here is a thread that was recently started that asks the same question, basically;

http://straightrazorpalace.com/conve...t-take-us.html

as this has been talked about before i've thought about it more i guess what really matters to me is that those who remain are taken care of. they need to know which ones are worth money so they can get the most out of them. i'm hoping that the one son who is interested in such things will at least think enough of me to keep a few as a remembrance (he can have them all if he wants). if we all go at once (which would be ideal) then i don't care what happens to my stuff.

After being badgered by the Swiss Miss to photograph and describe my stuff I am now doing so. Since I have to make pics the SOTD is seeing some weird gear.

She wants details on all the gear with as much info as i can remember. Some razors I know quite well and others will be described as "approximates".

Where it goes after I am gone will be up to her and the boy. I just hope none of it is given away.
