    Default 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

    Beautiful collection Glen, I'm going to search ebay straight razors now.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    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.

    Glen,

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

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

    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!

    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....
