Do your kids watch Maggie And The Ferocious Beast, too?

Hello, Maxi:
Thanks for the compliment. By the way, the straight razor racks were made for me. Each holds 12 straights. There's no room on the counter for another one. Last week I bought couple of multi-slotted toothbrush stands, where I keep some straights. Some of the double edge razors are parked in pipe racks. I also have a tiered wire shelf of sorts that holds some of the vintage Gillette double edge razors.
Regards,
Obie
Obie! Where's the Randy and Ron duelling Hess'? Its hard to pick them out of such an illustrious lineup!!
On a side-note, I can't wait to meet you at another razor meetup! It was a pleasure picking your brain for hours!
Derek:
Bless your heart for the kind words. And chatting with you at the meet was also a pleasure for me. You are a gentleman.
As for "The Ron" and "The Randy" razors to which you refer, they are the two razors with light scales in the middle of the rack to the left of the barber pole. You'll see five razors with dark scales. The two after them are my Hess razors named for Utopian (Ron) and Randydance (Randy) who were kind enough to hone them at the Wisconsin meeting. Randy also tighten their pins. The one on the right is the 5/8" Hess I call "The Randy" and the one to the left of it is the 4/8" Hess I call "The Ron."
Regards,
Obie
Nice collection!
So this is what my bathroom will look like in the future.
Amazing Obie. I spent about an hour on your blog the other day, and I must say it was quite interesting. I always enjoy your posts. My bathroom is approaching that level, albeit somewhat slowly. Thanks for sharing.
Nope. Never heard of it. I'm assuming it's a cartoon. My boys are 23 and 15. My oldest son does watch Spongebob on occassion though.
Obie, what you need is a safe to lock all the really good stuff up in. If they have gun safes why not razor safes?
That is an awesome collection. :)

Wow, my wife for just 7 brushes, 6 safety razors and 7 straights want't to kill me because she said that she does not have space, can you imagine?

Kiruiz, my friend, explain to your wife that yours is the gentleman's way, and that a gentleman has certain genteel requirements — like the proper and well stocked shave den. That might work. If it does not, a lovely bouquet of flowers works wonders.
