Congrats you gents for having such nice razors there.
I've had more than 7 but at some point i decided that 7 is well enough for me and sold the rest.
Poor quick snaps but here they are:
Usually they do not sit on the table but stand in their rack:
In case i had to travel somewhere with my razors i made a simple insert for a cigar case:

Right now I only have a picture of my 'box' of seven razors.
Dovo Best Quality 6/8
Revisor Seaman 6/8
Wacker Jugendstil 7/8
Wacker Antik 6/8
Le Grelot 6/8
Filarmonica #14 DT
Wade & Butcher 6/8 (Max's Paua scales)
I owe you the individual pics of every one in detail.
The box is a seven days box from rasurpur.de.
Problem is of course, that with room for seven in the box, any new symtom of RAD causes a space problem
There are pictures comming up of a serious new acquisition.
Have to sort out some camera issues first.
Regards/vriendelijke groet,
Paul

Finally, down to my best 8 day rotation
Ok, you've seen pics of my 'overall' start to my collection. Not included in the previous pictures where many of my actual 'daily' shavers. I have about 30 razors these days, but have come to the realization that I cannot get to know a razor when I only touch it once a month roughly. So I have narrowed it down to my favorites, and throw in a 'relief pitcher' every now and then.
So, here it is, with a nice Halloween theme to go along with them.
It can't compete with some of the beauties we have here, but here goes:
In the last 2 pictures are the following:
5/8 Dixon Improved Eagle in Burled Maple scales by Don Belanger
9/16 Union Spike (one of my best shavers, I restored her)
4/8 Friodur restored by gssixgun (Glen)
7/8 DC Mike's HammeR Custom by Douglas Cutlery made for me by Doug! (thx Bishop)
in the last pic:
7/8 Puma 'My Darling' from an antique shop I restored
5/8 Boker King Cutter from Lynn at SRD
6/8 Genco Henry's XX that I restored from an ebay sale
6/8 W&B Hollow Point in Crosscut Maple by Don Belanger - The DogBone razor
Keep this thread alive!!!! I want to see more collections
Mike-- Any day I get out of bed, and the first thing out of my mouth is not a groan, that's going to be a good day --

I Know, right??? As if I don't have RAD bad enough already, you see all these amazingly beautiful collections, and it kind of makes you feel like your own is just sorta, Meh! I keep thinking there is always one more thing I need to do. SO ..... Right now I'm working on collecting and restoring a 7 day set of Union Spike Razors. I have 4 now. RAD strikes again, hehehe.
Let's keep em comin'!
Best mate,
