Oh , I'm sure you can easily spend that amount. But if I did, my collection would be at least 5 times the size considering what I've spent. It must be some very special pieces I'm sure. Then too , as...

See, it's not much but everything I showed , except for the cards of razor blades fits in here and there is room for more. I could fit them in, but I don't want to crease them as some have never been...

20 yrs ? Wow,, I can 't even imagine this in that time frame. I'll look like the TV show "Hoarders" except I'll be buried in shaving memorabilia.
I don't quite qualify for being a senior citizen...

Well OK but I'm sure you'll be disappointed. It's not a display piece, just a piece of furniture I have in my shop that holds all my stuff. I'll get a pic tonight for you guys.

Hehe,, slice 8 off that number and you're in the ballpark. Hey, I think I'm just getting started. There are a lot of razors out there and I want to collect the entire set.
Well I can dream can't I?

No John, now I feel much better. I haven't come anywhere CLOSE to that amount. Thankfully I don't shop at ebay.

And yes, those GD's have seen some face time since I've made them. I'm sure they're...

What started all this?
The little 1907 Gillette here which is missing the ball, which was my Grandfathers, then my Fathers, and then mine when I was 14 or so. I can't imagine the history it...

Give me a second here,, I have a bit more to post. Trust me, I'm nearing the end.

No,, just a normal size one. These things stack pretty well.
Gee,, now I'm almost afraid to post my brushes and all the other stuff I have to go along with this.

My current goal is a 365 day set. One per day. Granted, I'll use some more often. I'm not quite there yet but should be soon. And when I do, it doesn't mean I'll stop collecting.

Currently I...

These are useable pieces ,which I have done with quite a few, but some I'd like to restore a bit more for the regular rotation.
