My Stable

For you guys that know I have limited myself to owning only seven razors at a time. And you have been wondering what seven razors would I keep with the dozens and dozens of razors that I handle.

Here they are.

My Sunday razor is a Solingen Bismarck 6/8 round point shoulderless. It's a 10+
Monday is a Theirs-Issard 6/8 silver steel Stamina. It's a 10. This one is permanent as it is a gift from my wife.
Tuesday is restored Wade & Butcher 6/8 shoulderless, Spanish point extra hollow ground. It's a 10
Wednesday is number 174 SRP Limited Edition 6/8 Theirs-Issard. It's a 10
Thursday is a Dovo Special 6/8 round point in faux tortoise. It's a 10+
Friday is a restore Boker Red-Injun 6/8 spike. It's a 10+
Saturday is a Dovo 6/8 En Vogue 105 SS Ice Tempered round point in macarta. Yep, it's a 10.
I'm waiting on the group buy Livi, so the question is, which one of these razors is going to get bumped? :thinking:

Nice blades, Ken. I would probably get rid of the one that will be easiest to replace if you feel the need. ;)

+1 That's a really nice line up you have there. It'd be tough to get choose one to get rid of. Picking the easiest to replace definitely makes the most sense.

Good luck with the decision...a tough one but you have an excellent reason for it!

Enjoy,

Given the time difference between the US and China, your sunday is their monday, so there are really 8 days in the week. So I think you can get a Livi and keep your current stash. Just to be respectful of world peace and culturally open minded and all.

Those are all very nice razors Ken. In the respect of helping you keep your promise to just 7 razors, I will gladly purchase the one you would like to get rid of, just so it's not orphaned of course. Drop me a PM and I will start the adoption precedings.:shrug:

I appreciate the offer Mike. I'm going to make sure the Livi will beat out one of them. My two candidates are the Wade and Butcher you like so much or the Dovo Special. Decisions, decisions.

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.

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. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...nsRazor026.jpg
