    Default 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.
