    You'll forgive my intruding, but you can legitimately own ten razors.

    The French, during the time of the Revolution, replaced many old customs associated with the monarchy with new conventions based on rational thought. One example was the metric system. Another was the French Revolutionary Calendar.

    The calendar, based on rational numbers and poetry, consited of twelve month divided in to thrity days. The days were divided in to groups of three weeks or "décades'' with each décade consisting of ten days. Each day had ten hours and each hour, one hundred minutes.

    So, providing that you, for shaving purposes, use this calendar, you can easily justify owning ten razors.

    Cheers.

    I restored the Boker and the Wade & Butcher. To shine scales I use #@^$&# with #$#!!*(& and carnauba wax, nothin' to it.

    That display looks as good as the razors in it! Did you make that or was it bought?

    The shell is a front hinged panel shadow box I bought from Hobby Lobby. I couldn't make a box for what I paid for theirs. I did the interior with a composite panel cover in batting with a velvet. I used brass shoulderless hooks and cup hooks for the mounts. For the back, I used a Dremel router bit to make keyhole mounts in two pieces of 4"X2"X1/4" wood and glued it to the top and bottom. This enabled me to mount the box to the wall very securely. I only make the boxes if there is a special requirement. Like this one. I made this one out of red oak. It was for a three generation heirloom razor I restored.
