Thread: Do you own any razors and related items you consider PRICELESS?

I'm not really asking if you own any razors or related items that would be widely regarding as being so valuable that a price would literally be difficult to be placed on them.

Rather, I'm asking if you have any razors, hones, stones, etc that you personally find so valuable that you'd never part with them? Maybe such an item wouldn't be worth much to others but it is to you.

I thought about this recently. I've come to the conclusion that I'm a shameful collector in the literal sense because even though I do have some razors and stones I'm fond of and are "rare" or in excellent condition, I've concluded that everything I own razor related, theoretically, has a price I'd sell them for; sure, the price may be significant on some pieces, but a price nonetheless.

Maybe it's more of a philosophical thing. Knowing myself I'm very cautious about how I feel about the things I collect or own. I don't want to be all Gollum about them.

Here's a thought provoking question that may help get things started:

If your entire collection, all razors, stones, hones, strops, mugs, brushes, scuttles, etc were completely destroyed in a fire, would you be devastated? Would you even be a changed person on some level? Or, would you certainly be disappointed, but ultimately come to terms with it rather quickly, shrug it off with a, m'eh and move on?

I'd like to hear others thoughts on this.
