Sorry for the bad pics, but here's mine.

I've been thinning down from 30+ razors the last months with the intention to have only 7-8 razors, that way I actually might get to use them all :)

In addition to these six I have a Brian Brown custom incoming, and I'd like to get a big Wade & Bitcher wedge or similar to complete my set.

From left to right:

Wacker Antik 15/16 - Revisor 6/8 - Friodur 721/2 ~6/8 - Mastro Livi 6/8 - Toyo Scheön Burg #666 ~7/8 - Stabil 13/16

I just pick a different razor every night to put in the bathroom to shave with the next day.
The topic got me thinking so I've put together a custom 7 Day set to shave with this week.

Buddel Damascus, Zowada Damascus, Josh Earl, Livi Damascus, Alex Jacques, Charlie Lewis and we'll finish off the week with a Robert Williams.

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:

Attachment 81540 Attachment 81538 Attachment 81539 Attachment 81541

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 :)

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,

Mike
