My Collection
Here's my collection of DE, straight, talcs, brushes,and some old electric razors. I have been collecting them for around 15 years now and still going strong. I mostly get them from garage sales and some off of Ebay. I have used every razor in my collection at one time or another. The Gillette comb, Tech, and the Schick Hydor-Magic 500 were my favorites to use before I switched to a straight razor.The holder for my straight razors, I just finished making. I made it out of reclaimed (old) oak window casings that I found on the curb a while back. I hope you enjoy the pictures..

Thank You!! It took a couple of days to make the box. I applied two different colors of stain (English chestnut and Red oak) and applied two coats of polyurethane.

That is one fine collection
No excuse for looking scruffy with a set-up like that.
A lot of different shavers from different era's, which is always nice to see.
Thanks for putting up the pics!Bjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

Thank you!! Every time I go to a garage sale or antique stores, I always keep my eyes peeled for razors. You never know what you might find. Originally Posted by Birnando

That's a very nice display you have. You have quite a bit of eye candy there and I am sure it motivates your daily shaves. Very impressive.
