Thread: My razor collection

Snapped a few pictures of my razor collection. I have only been straight razor shaving since March of this year, and my RAD got a little out of hand. Holding off on more purchases for a while.
First picture are the ones that are currently shave ready. Left to right, starting with the top row:

• Cattaraugus Cutlery Co, Little Valley, N.Y. Restored small blade with textured horn scales.
• W.R. Case & Sons, Bradford, PA. Registered No. 23 Warranted For Life. Restored with Purple Heart Wood scales.
• Cattaraugus Cutlery Co, Little Valley, N.Y. B54GL. “Green Lizard” Restored with original green plastic scales with lizard.
• W.B. Speed Rabbit marked, with Black Plastic scales.
• Wade & Butcher Sheffield, England. “The Celebrated Extra Hollow Ground” One piece wood scales as found, repined.
• Dubl Duck Satinwedge. As purchased with Obnoxious Orange acrylic scales.
• Craftsman, Distributed by Sears, Roebuck, and Company, Chicago, Illinois. As purchased condition, was NOS, but has been honed once and shaved with multiple times now.
• Wade & Butcher Sheffield, as purchased with worm eaten horn scales.

Second Picture shows my projects, picked up to teach myself to hone with (eventually,) and maybe try and make some scales. Left to right, starting with the top row:

• Ontario Cutlery Co, Geneva, N.Y. U.S.A. As purchased condition, with white plastic scales.
• “Sensation” Ross W. Black, Pittsburg. As purchased condition, faux ivory scales, with steel bolsters.
• 244 WM Elliot &Co Made in Germany. As purchased condition, horn scales with steel inlay.
• Spike, Union Cuttlery Co, Olean N.Y. As Purchased condition, green plastic scales. Wedge.
• “Our Leader” Jas. G. Berry Co. Chicago, Ill’s Made in Germany. As purchased condition. Wood grain plastic scales, with one side broken off past the pivot.

So this weekend I had some time to myself, and finished up my cases for my razors as well.

Sweet set of razors ya got there.
Your catching up to me.
Been str8 shaving 30 yrs.
But started RAD last January/February 2015.
Haven't a exact count, but somewhere around 40-50.
I too have slowed my RAD, but im after a wade&butcher original bow razor this weekend.
The seller said he'd hold it for me since I've bought others from him.
