Thread: my collection

I'm new to straight razor shaving and so I thought I'd like to share my collection on here with you.

here's a photo of the razors I've collected over the last 2 years

from right to left:

'Breidora' - 6/8 hollowground, plastic handle
'Cyril Salter' - half hollowground, plastic handle
'Krauss' - 6/8 hollow ground, celluloid handle ( so I've been told)
'Excel' No.2 - 6/8 hollow ground , celluloid handle.
'Dovo Astrale' - size 5, hollow ground, Ebony handle with silver shield.


The Dovo Astrale is my 'shave', it and the Salter were presents, the Krauss and Excel were bought as rusted up lumps for £20 (about $35) and a few hours work brougth them to this condition, the Breidora has just been bought off a friend for £20. So I'm a happy man
