Thread: The Drawer of Shame

I don't have a drawer but I got shame...
My Kamisori Shame, shame, shame....

well here are the ones that i will admit too.

mainly cracked blades and chips... some i did myself others i got suckered wit ha poor photo the one the top one in the ornate black scales is a waterville... don't get much uglier than that... the missing scales have gone to give new life to other blades... all but the waterville will loose its scales... i might have another go at making that a shaver.

In my drawer I have this, a mint cond. BRESDUCK DUBL DUCK STRAIGHT RAZOR SOLINGEN or at least thats what the ebay seller called it, guess you live and learn

I hate this razor so much. So many wasted hours. If they were billable hours, i could buy a mastro livi.

I only have two....................cigar boxes, full of redhaired stepchild razors.
Some are salvageable, so I have plenty to do at night for the rest of my life.

I have three Genevas in the drawer. One takes an edge, but has a big chip in it. The other two...I gave up.

Also gave up on a Frederick Reynolds. I sent it to Lynn. He should be having fun with it. :P

I have my Dovo. My first razor, that unbeknownst to newbie me had some serious warpage of the blade. By the time I knew enough to discover it I had honed it, Dovo wouldn't take it back,and Classic Shaving could do nothing. So I work on it every now and then, and it's slowly getting closer to being "straight-bevel"-able. But I think that it, my dremel, and I might have a hot date coming up...

The other razors in my "working on" drawere are in various states of restoration, but working full time and still in school I don't have lots of time to work on them. However, all but the Dovo are progressing somewhat satisfactorily toward usability...

I'll post some pics after I get my camera this weekend...

Non yet, but does the fact that I can't strop a decent blade yet count? no matter what I do the blade rises off the strop.. and going fast for me is out of the question... unless I want a dull blade... maybe its the American made Latigo that's the problem, who knows.. but I'm not ever happy with my stropping... seen enough videos to last a lifetime... ugh... that's my shame... finally out in the open...God feels good..

I'm gonna sandpaper my strop today and see if thats it... would suck if I'm just retarded when it comes to stropping...lol

Cheers

I hate this razor so much.

Hahaha, I got a good laugh from this. There are just some razors that you love to hate!

I have one out on the bnech right now, I won't let it in the house. I think a Rodgers or other good sheffield name, but pics weren't quite clear enough. I put in about 15 buck bid, won. got here, lots of pitting, somebody tried sanding it, just a lot of work. not sure if I'll mess with it or sell it or chuck it.
