Thank you Sir! Finding my late father's Red Tip started all of this... Once I finish prepping two nickel pre-War Fat Handle Pre-War Techs for Chris to re-plate them- I am through! God Bless! Tony

Thanks Man! Once I finish prepping two Pre-War nickel plated Fat Handle Techs for Chris Evatt to re-plate- I am through. I did find a case for the steel handled 1940's style Super Speed, and a Gillette Blue Blade dispenser for the Fat Boy case. One nickel plated Tech will go into the rotation, the other for travel. I just nabbed a Blue Willow mug dating from just past the post-WWII occupation of Japan, and that probably

does it on the shaving sundries as well.

What's on the shelf this week (or month) -- Progress, Coles NY slant, Fatip/Merkur frankenstein, and Rocket. Used the Gillette this morning.

Do you actually use the Stahly? The head is nice, but I find the rest a little awkward.
Yeah I've used it be it is very awkward. The vibration mechanism works but not like new. So I've never tried it while it's running.

Put that head on a different handle and BANG! You have an awesome razor.

This was a SOTD pic for another thread, but it's probably the best pic I have of my razor collection right now. There's no set rotation order - just whatever I'm in the mood for. I used to use one razor for 4-5 days, until I was ready to change the blade. Now, I keep the blade for a week, and just put it in a different razor each day, using a new blade every Monday. The best razor I have is most likely the '46/'47 Aristocrat, hanging over on the right.
note: The purple handle synthetic brush, and one of the razors on the back side of my stand belong to my wife - my gift to her on her birthday last year.
 
Here is a couple of pics of my razors, I use all of them. No special rotation, using an X-3 Superspeed for the shave of the month.

ghost town barber + special reserve = scent heaven.
 
My current rotation is 14 razors ,I shave every second day so I go through a rotation roughly every month .I have 6 vintage DEs and 6 modern DEs in my rotation plus a vintage and modern SE for Sunday shaves . With all the fuss over the high end stainless razors, this month I decided to go with some high end vintage DEs from back in the day
