    Somewhere between 1969(when I started straight shaving) and now I missed the train to collecting. While I obtained a lot of razors over the years, I never thought of myself as a collecter. Only in the last couple of years did I start to purchase razors for collection sake. I suppose that my dream razor is not just one razor, but a brand that I chose for every day use many years ago. That being JA Henckels. I have a good number of them in different sizes, grinds, and shapes. That being said, my favorite is a plain jane 5\8 full hollow spike. I would post pics, but I just bought my first digital camera two weeks ago and havn"t learned how to use it yet. Yep, you guessed it, I don"t have a cell phone either. Very Best Regards and Happy Shaving, wildhog

    PS to above thread. I learned on a Boker KK 5\8 spike with little mute on toe, so I also have a soft spot for any Boker. Best, wildhog

    Well, I'm not really chomping at the bit for any particular razor however I'd sure like to find that DD Napoleon but I don't think that's gonna happen any time soon.

    Okay this was gonna be a secret until I had the money to have it done but as that is probably decades down the road, I guess I'll bite. I want a custom frameback with worked spine and 7 interchangeable damascus blades with the days of the week in latin (maybe italian) engraved on them. Scales to be done by shutterbug with a custom display case done by pdobson (don't worry I would use it daily just think something so nice should be on display the other 23 hrs of the day preferably with a light on it). Yeah I would trade all my razors for that right now and give up ever buying another.

    I assure you that my dreams have nothing to do with razors.

    I'd really like a filarmonica though.

    The two I would love to have are an 8/8 Wade and Butcher and a 6/8 Wade and Butcher VR with pressed horn scales inscribed with the celebrated razor on one side and universally accepted on the other. I already have one of the VRs and want a matched pair.
