Thread: Which razor do I keep.

Hi,

I am in the very fortunate position of having aquired all of my old (92 years) deceased barbers straight razors - 13 in all.

They are a mixture going back to the 30s (or before) and include a Bismark, Puma, Fisher, Wilkinson, Kropp, Mauber, Reich, Dispatch, ERN, Veldawerk, Idelthal plus a Durham Duplex and an unnamed one.

Now I have never used one before but can see the benefit in having one so I have decided to keep one back for moi.

But Which one?

They are in various conditions of sharp to very sharp and I have stropped a few to brighten up the cutting edge and tried them all on my (dry) neck with a mixture of results, which is probably based on their sharpness as opposed to the quality.

How does ANYONE choose a razor?

Would EBAY be the best place for the rest of them?

Thanks for your help in anticipation.
