2009 Razors

So for the last half of 2008 I was using some very nice, in my estimation, razors. But while I was taking things slow and not getting too carried away, I decided to start some other projects and those projects have basically all seen fruition around the same time. In the last month to six weeks I have four new and restored razors. And they are my rotation. The others are gone because these are here to stay. My 2009 razor aquisitions:

1. Dovo #41 rescaled by 'cannonfodder' in Japanese Horsechestnut.

2. Bill Ellis Hybrid in Redheart.

3. Wade & Butcher's The Celebrated Fine India Steel Razor, rescaled by Max.

Hm, I've attached a screenshot. I hope someone can help me out; there's nothing better than razor porn.

Try clicking on the underlined title of each razor. I added a hyper link to each pic for those who cannot see the ones in the first post.

Zeth, if I'm not mistaken, go to post reply and when the text box pops up scroll down and you will see a menu. One of the choices is "manage attachments" and if memory serves it gives the choice of attaching from a URL or from your browser. Follow the prompts and you can list your photos one way or the other.

If you want to do it from your original post you can go to edit post and do it that way as well.

I think the problem was that I inserted the images from my album and it was set on private. It is now public and.......any change?

Every one of those razors gave me an idea! Thanks for the inspiration. Also, of course, they are beautiful.

Ha Ha Ha,

Well Max, I don't think it will be like the first quarter. Nonetheless, I still have other plans; some in motion and others in the planning stage.

I am sure it has been said before but I think I would only like one seven day set of various different razors. Three more special ones to go...maybe they will be custon maybe not. :D

BTW Max, the two that you did for me have been initiated and are definately keepers. (Not that I had any doubts)

I always think about the history of the vintage razors that I shave with. Especially the really old ones like that wade and butcher. I have to wonder who has used it in its long long life? Was it a barber? a Pirate? an Aristocrat? Was it a family heirloom? With the repair job that it initailly had on it, it really makes a person wonder.

Smooth shaving everyone!:gl:

Impressive

Beautiful set of razors.

Now I see why I got one of your junkers!!:D:D:D

Have you had time to make opinions of each razor?

Yes I have a few opinions, but I have to say that the DOVO still gives me the best shave.

It is just a really good blade.

The others are all seeing more time in the rotation due, probably double to that of the Dovo, to the fact that I want to prove the Dovo wrong. So far, though, no such luck.

Although I love them all equally.

:D

I like that figured Japanese Horsechestnut so much I went a looking for some wood. Already did a few in some similarly figured curly maple and found some very nice figured Asian satinwood for a couple as well. That is a nice looking lineup. They will serve you will for a life and then some.
