Thread: I Love Show and Tell!

Hi all,

I am new to the forum even though I've skulked around for a while. A couple of years ago, I got the Straight Razor Fever and I've just been picking up an occasional blade or two ever so often. I have very eclectic tastes and there is no rhyme or reason to what I have picked up. I try not to buy razors I can't use, even though I do have a couple that fall into that category. For instance, I have a W&B pearl handled razor that has absolutely no wear, never has had a bevel set or a sharpening, and has not touched a human face and I don't see much need to use it. A couple don't get used because they are old and scary. They have to be real scary, though, as I have no qualms about using Civil War massives or 9/8 customs all day.

Here are a few of my initial finds as a "collector" (my picture can be seen under the "hoarder" listing in the dictionary). Excuse the pictures. They don't do the razors any justice, but I'm old and virtually computer illiterate, so they are what they are...

Thanks for stopping by!

Steve

...a couple more!

One more!

Very nice indeed. Great looking razors.

Thanks nipper! Suave looking avatar you have there...

Very nice looking razors thanks forum showing

Thanks, kalerolf! I have visited your city twice. It has to be a great place to live....

That #1 & #2 is totally awesome!!!!!! I have some with a number but not the mate to it, plus they are very old looking at the tails on them...........early 1800's.

Thanks for chiming in engine46! I thought they might be a good addition to the old collection. They are mustache razors (or razors from that time period were just small?) that are 4 3/4" long and have a 5/8" wide blade that only has a cutting edge that is not quite 2 3/4" long. I love dwarf razors and these are a really nice addition.
