My razor diet has been working !!!!

I counted up shave ready razors in the collection today and realized that I am down from 77 shave ready razors to 52 so in the past 6 months I have shaved 25 razors off the collection....
Now some of you that are building collections are saying shut up Glen, but others out there can relate....

I have grown rather picky in buying razors, and have only gone after exactly the ones that I like, and have been steadily selling or gifting the others....

The collection has gone down to 10 Dubl Ducks and 10 Shumate's in the cabinet, and then 2 drawers full

My German drawer with 5 Beau Brummels, 6 C-MON's, 1 Otto Duetsch 1 Puma, 1 ERN, 1 Henckels, and two English razors in the back 1 Bengall and 1 W&B

Attachment 19308

My American drawer with 2 Green Lizards, 1 Red Imp, 1 Kinfolks, 1 Easy Aces, 1 Craftsman 3 Hess', 1 Robeson 1 Ka-Bar, 1 GEM, 1 "Mack the Knife" and tucked in the back are 2 Spanish Fillarmonica's

Attachment 19309


Size wise they are almost all 5/8 to 6/8 mostly all at the 11/16 size...and exactly 1 Wedge in there...

Yeah I am liking this, now if I could just find those last 1or 2 that I want I will be done....:w

Glen, do you happen to have, or have you had in the passed, a Hill & Son? I know I'm sounding like a broken record again, but I can't get over what a good shaver mine is.

Oh my god! :eek: That is my collection in about 100 years......:gth

Glen,

What is it about green scales? They also grab my carbon footprint like there is no tomorrow.:roflmao

If Martin @ rasurpur had put the Le Grelots in green scales, I'd probably own every one he had for sale.:gth

Beautiful collection Glen..Those pics are enough to raise the little green razor monster in most of us. If I could be of help to get you down to the number you'r looking for, just drop me a Pm. it looks like you have too many DD's anyway....:D

can you tell me about the white scales craftsman is it any good sure it is how old is it I guess I am seriously wanting to know everything about it

They have been bringing(crafstman) insane prices lately. But thats alot of those razors he has! There may not be a razor there under 100$. All fine examples they look to be!:rock:

HA!!!! Funny you say that, I love the Cracked Ice look myself but the translucent Green, Blue and Reds are a close second... I just found a supplier that can get me acyclic, that I think will work, so I am going to try some and see....

Those Craftsman and their sister Sta-Sharp's are really stand out shavers, the problem is finding them in that condition... I bought that one and paid dearly for it but it was NOS never been honed.... That one is probably 1960's vintage....
The Sears brand goes all the way back to 1865 but IIRC the Craftsman razors were made from the early 1950's through the early 1980's... I am at work and don't have my books handy so I might be off on the dates....

Wow, just wow nice collection!!

I have not, but I have run into plenty of the not so well known brands that will shave like silk... Honestly my best shaver is still my little L.H. Mack, I have finally come to realize that it really isn't mystical :cry: it just fits my face perfectly... and that one cost me all of $7...

I'm on a razor diet too. Except I'm trying to gain weight right now.

Trouble is that food gets expensive.

...and you become a picky eater quick quickly.

...and that become even more expensive. (Heck, Yellow mustard has it's place but it doesn't compare to the Gray-poop-on variety!)

So now I'm trying to learn how to cook my own meals. But even the kitchen utensils are expensive.

...dang, I'm hungry now...lol


BTW....gorgeous collection.

All of them look great, except those two green lizards! I would get rid of those ASAP.

Hey Glen,about this GIFTING thing you spoke about,Do you need my address? Just kidding.....not really.
Nice collection though.I might get there someday,although I have gotten a bit more picky lately.

I dig the green lizards and the Red Imp. The Craftsman is classic of course! You sound like a buddy of mine. He told me the other day that he wants to sell some guns.......He has about 200!!! Wants to get down to about 12.

Moderators, could you please ban this guy ASAP for causing unnecessary distress in newbies?


I'd be short of shooting - pardon: knifing myself if it weren't for you not having (or showing?) a Swedish drawer...
