Thread: Show yours razors!

Here is my rotation. Well, most of them anyway. And some I don't have anymore.

So you have a different razor for every day of the year?

I'm sorry, that's too many. Many too many.

...let me know if you need help with this issue.

A very long and complicated one by the looks of it

For the most part CarrieM has made me razor rolls for the razors. Most hold seven razors but a few hold more. I usually take out a razor roll and shave through it, then get another. The rolls are mostly assembled by make, some by country of origin, some by size. Unfortunately my RAD outpaced Carrie's ability to make more rolls so I have a bunch in toothbrush stands, a test tube rack, some in a cigar box and some just sitting on my desk. Here's another picture of the test tube rack and some toothbrush stands. You can see some razor rolls in the background. The box also has a bunch of razors in it. The second pic shows a Genco display case that holds 6 razors. I have a second Gebco case made of wood in white but I can't find a pic quickly.

Hi there,

No offense meant of course, but you may just have the beginnings of a small acquisition disorder. You might wanna have that fixed before things start getting outta hand.

No offense taken. I've got it under control now. I just need one more razor. LOL

Issue! What issue? Are you inferring that I may have some type of disorder that causes me to acquire straight razors beyond any normal person's need to have that many? And just how do you intend to "help with this issue". Are you prepared to counsel me with the aim of curing this disorder? Or is it your intention that if I had fewer razors it would, in some way, make this disorder go away? Let me tell you something friend . . . there is no cure! Abject poverty, total paralysis, or eventually death are the only known cures. Having six or eight razors and thinking you have full-blown Razor Acquisition Disorder (RAD) is comparable to having the sniffles and believing you have double pneumonia. So, don't attempt to help me with my "issue", just let me suffer in silence and admire the three new razors I just picked up at a flea market today.

Thanks Joed. I have always admired your collection and envied your location since I am a big fan of Robeson razors. I once had all my razors on a database that comes with Open Office. It was nice because I could sort it by any of the headings. But I had a hard drive failure and lost it all. It took so much time to enter all of that detail that I haven't had the interest in recreating it. I know I should and that next time I will save it seperate from my hard drive, but I just have to get up the ambition to try it again.
