When I look at all of these beautiful razors you have, I can hear my wife's voice in my head asking me why I need so many razors for only one face. LOL
I've always thought that was a very good looking razor. Did you restore them or were you lucky enough to find all in good condition?

If you are purchasing razors just to shave with I agree with your wife. In our case we are 'collecting' razors and also shaving with then. Most of the razors pictured are New Old Stock and a few have not been honed yet. One Caddie, a few Blackies, the Wedge and the Perfectos were purchased used. The used razors did not have any restoration work done on then except for a cleaning and maybe a polishing.

Naturally, I had to test out one of the Caddy's this weekend (since I'd already tested the hugantic Blackie). I have to say, the Caddy was a sweet shaver. Thanks for the spin, Joe.
