Thread: My collection is complete!!!

...Complete, except for a massive George Savage chopper, and the same with Marshes and Shephard. I've bought everything else I could possibly want in the razor department, and these are the missing treasures...


SO, if any of you fine fellows knows where to "get" one, I will be eternally grateful

Oh, the collection includes at least 1 pristine example of the following, usually 2 or 3, in a big wedge-grind most likely:
John Barber
Thomas Turner
Mappin Brothers
Joseph Rodgers
George Wostenholm
W. Greaves
Dovo
Dubl Duck
Wm. Jackson
MJ. Higgins
Wade and Butcher
Joseph Smith
Frederick Reynolds
Brittain, Wilkinson & Brownell (GB Anchor)

Don't even suggest any of the hollow ground solingens, I'm just not a huge fan

what, no boker? :P

You're also missing a big F. Fenney Tally Ho wedge.

That is true, I do need one of those Tally Ho's

I have one of the big 8/8 Marshes and Shepherd wedges from the 40s that I am thinking of selling. Still going back and forth on whether I want to keep her, but if you want, I'll let you know if I decide to put it up on eBay.

lol for whatever reason, the big, old wedges appeal to me. I like the heft-makes me think I have something quality. They're easier to strop (for me) easier to hone (for me) and easier to shave (especially smiling blades).

Well then dont fight it.
When you know what you like and what works for you that can only be a good thing.
So when you go head-to-head with Paul Bunyan be sure to give us a heads up
.................and maybe a few more pics?
especially the Joseph & Rodgers
