    Default Around the world in 80 razors

    Gentleman.

    I would like to see how many razors from around the world we own. Most of us have razors from England, Germany and the USA but I would like to see razors from Italy, France, Russia, Poland even India and China! The more obscure the better! I don't mind seeing razors from different regions like Torreys from Massachusetts or Gencos from Geneva, NY but I don't want to see 20 different Sheffield razors.

    I currently have razors from 7 countries and intend to expand over the years but I need some inspiration.

    Right off the top - the Spanish Filarmonica, the Swedish razors in all their glory, and before Celtic Jamie get's it - of course the vaunted Japanese razors.

    And as far as I'm concerned, the king of the Sheffields, The Celebrated, For Barbers Use:

    Personally, I have seen enough razors from China; but maybe that's just me.
