Thread: Can someone please tell me something about these (pic heavy)

Man, oh man!

Mother lode? Yeah! Every razor there is one that I covet!

Good decision to keep them, IMHO...

Perhaps you will be inspired to shave as your great uncle, and I'm sure other men of your family did. It's more efficient, enables you to become self sufficient in that area of your life, and if it matters, it's better for the planet.

As an added bonus, you will save tons of money!

Please keep us posted!

LOL.

Good to hear that you've decided to keep them, when you have razors with celluloid scales you'll want to keep an eye on them in case the celluloid starts to break down, we call this cell rot and there're multiple threads about it and how you spot it.

Cell rot is bad because it releases gases that corrodes the steel and it can ruin a razor.

When/if you give it a try I'd recommend reading through the wiki on the forum, there's a lot of great info there.

Remember to be patient since your shaves will most likely not be that good when you start out.

are you serious, that is an awsome score & they are all in great condition still with original boxes you Uncle & Aunt keep them very well preserved

Mind boggling.....
What an amazing and well kept collection.

I need relatives like yours! Nice collection with matching boxes an heirlooms! Are you freaking kidding me?! Don't ever sell those. Even if you don't decide to use them, keep them oiled an check on them periodically for issues.
