    Default Collectors?

    Just curious as to how many here are straight razor collectors and how many are in it just for the shave? I started as being in it just for the shave, but after seeing the beautiful blades and scales im seriously considering collecting.

    Seems to be the progression! Just set up a paypal account and get ready.

    Yup, definitely a progression! First it was for the shave, then for me at least it was to shave with something older than my great, great grandfather. Then after that I just got more eccentric, suddenly 8/8 was puny...agreed with the advice above you will need a well funded paypal account.

    Now up to 15 blades, from 3/8 to 7/8. Became a fan of Wade & Butcher, so I had to have several of those, and they can go pretty high on Ebay, etc. Yeah, I'm now a collector. Sigh...

    I'm into the working collection. The plan I keep trying to sell to myself is this... Only 7 razors, not counting ones from family.

    I'm kind of curious how long that will last So far so good, I have more than 7 at the moment, but only 6 are shave ready (not counting the 2 I have from family). As I get the others repaired and up to shave ready I'll see how much I like the shave and feel. If lacking... off it goes (to fund yet another )
