Thanks, y'all!
@Telly: The Filly IS in mint condition, I got it NOS from Spain
@Johan: The W&B will never go on sale. Too long did the search take and too good was the price
@bhands: ...and Julie Walters and Bonnie Wright and Emma Watson too
@Vashaver: Well, for what I know these Antelopes were made by the Perfectum factory in Solingen Germany for the US export-market and the NY-based company Griffon (founded in 1888, till 1968 they stayed in NY). Another small detail: Pre-1940 razors carry the name "Griffon cutlery works", post-1940 razors the name "Griffon cutlery Corp.) That's all I know about them, sorry.

Holy smokes, If that thing marked as Lea or somesuch is a styptic "pencil" then I think you're set up for life with it.
I really like the old Bengall, Acier and Elliot. Shows very well how razors have been evolving. Or at least I think thats how the older ones usually look.
You could have picked better pictures for your shrine, but then again I've never been a big fan of the Lord of the ring stuff. And since yours *your* setup, I think we can let is slide
Edit: what the heck, after I press the submit button for the post the icons and personal info about posters have moved to the left =P.... or was it there when I clicked? .... hmm so confused, I thought they had to bring down the forum in order to make changes like that, so I probably just didn't notice it.Last edited by Chady; 04-24-2008 at 11:33 AM.

Thanks, Chady!
Nope, LEA is a Spanish shaving soap stick Though a styptic of that size would be great, too
You're the first one to mention the very old razors - thanks very much for doing so! They're the stars of my collection, the Bengall being a good 200 years old and the Acier Fondu and the Elliot being 180-200 years old. Very rarely do you see one of those on ebay and even more rarely in repairable condition. All three are awesome shavers even though I don't use 'em much, only for special occasions.
