Thread: My humble collection

I thought I'd just add a photo of my collection to date. It isn't large, but I was once a minimalist with just one razor and had every intention of never exceeding that princely figure. So for me my collection is a treasure trove of razors that I will have to find a way to rotate in and out of use...Oh the burden of decision. How do you fine gentleman, with that terrible affliction, known as RAD, cope?!?!

Clockwise from the top:

Black handled razor is a reconditioned and rescaled 13/16 Wosteholm Pipe by Holli4Pirating

6/8 Bengall with Blackbean (Australian Hardwood) scales by Onimaru55

Geisen and Forsthoff 5/8 Timor with black plastic scales

Dovo #98 5/8 with IMoP scales (My first razor)

and last of all, my latest edition and a gift from a good mate, a Gotta 120 6/8? in need of a little TLC before it gets a trial run.

I'm thinking of just giving the Gotta a rough cleanup rather than going for a full on mirror polish restoration. If I do go for a full mirror shine, it will only be to blue the blade with gun blue, to get the maximum quality blued finish.

Thanks for looking.
