    Default Rotation, almost rotation and repairs

    Over the past 2 yrs. my collection has grown.
    The first shots are my current rotation. Row 1 are 25 or so W&B;s, row 4 starts with 11 Ivories ( more in the resto pile) Framebacks, Wosty's, Robesons, DblDucks, and a variety of neat pieces.

    These are useable pieces ,which I have done with quite a few, but some I'd like to restore a bit more for the regular rotation.
    Interesting pieces are the half dozen F. Reynolds, same for Wosty's etc.

    And many, if not most of these are in line for restorations. Sure, some can be used as it,, but I like to have fun with them.

    I wonder how many years worth of daily use you have in that collection.

    My current goal is a 365 day set. One per day. Granted, I'll use some more often. I'm not quite there yet but should be soon. And when I do, it doesn't mean I'll stop collecting.

    Currently I store them in a drop front secretarial type desk. The upper part houses most of my DE collection which comes close to rivaling this along with the brushes and other memorabilia such as full original cards of razor packs, barbershop signs, etc.

    Is this drop front secretarial type desk the size of a bedroom? I can imagine a walk in razor closet. I am still suffering razor envy.

    No,, just a normal size one. These things stack pretty well.
    Gee,, now I'm almost afraid to post my brushes and all the other stuff I have to go along with this.
    Seriously though I do plan on building a room to house my collection for display. I'm planning Mahogany cabinetry, glass cases,, and If I can have my way, a barbers chair in the center.
