Nice group of razors. Bengall's are fantastic but so are the others.
How do we cope? Buy more razors! LOL! Hit antique stores and flea markets. You can get them fairly cheep. On average $10-20. Wont break the bank. I have been collecting on and off for 20 years. Only been shave for one year. But i face the collecting evil and the shaving evil! Well i always have company. LOL!

Thanked: 1936There are quite a few of us who enjoy the patina of the older razors. I've made it a habit to hone up a razor and shave with it a few times before I "restore" it anyway to be sure that it's worth the time and effort. Many have stayed that way because I've just grown to like the old things. Nice collection there!

Nice assortment you have there. A good rotation is all you need and you have that. I have a heck of a lot more razors but we can only shave with one at a time. Years ago I collected Case XX pocket knives with stag handles.
I showed them to a friend of mine and he said,"If you can't be satisfied with what you have, you'll never be satisfied with what you get." I am one of those poor souls who can never be satisfied. You're very fortunate to be happy with what you have and not ignoring it by focusing on what you are going to get.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
