Just my thought process. Curious.
I was asked recently what my top 5 razors are in my collection. That’s a tough call to make. I listed around 10 or so and said take your pick.
But I recently went through my collection to clean it up. Also my to do pile and it struck me.
Why just Torrey Tuesday and frameback fridays?
Todays Wednesday so in the Standard Guide of razors ( if you’re new check it out) it lists around 125 manufacturers of razors starting with the letter W.
Well I’m using a Wilson ( damn fine razor,,, hear of it often?)
I also have ,
Wiss
Wolferetz
Waterville
Wester
Worcester
Winchester
Wilbert
Waldman
Wostenholm
Wadsworth.
Wanna see em’?
My point is and my interest is , where are , and who has , the other 115 razor examples?
Do you have one?
We don’t have enough days of the week starting with every letter of the alphabet.
There were thousands of manufacturers.
Why not post, naturally starting with A , any razor you have? The guide lists around 40. Can we come close?
A , in two weeks b, two weeks c. In a year the entire alphabet.
H’s ,,, it lists 175 manufacturers . How many do we have?
But the thing is. Just post the razor to show that it still exists. No fussy SOTD or piles on piles of lather on a blade or some
Other nonsense .
No.
If it’s a rust bucket and looks like cr*p I wouldn’t care.
Show us it still exists. Somebody at some time made it. Give testimony to their efforts .
I have quite a few that aren’t in the book.
A couple from Russia. So many “ Blue Steels”
Manganese steel, magnetic steel, diamondine , finest ground silver steel.
The list is endless .
Interested in starting our own?
Could be fun and enlightening.
And I’ll bet the darn things can still shave a face even if you never heard of it and it equals the “name brand” blades. I’m sure. Mine do it all the time.
And again. If it’s in your “to do”
Pile don’t give it a second thought if it looks skanky. That’s the plan. Good , bad , indifferent.
Post it. No critiques allowed.
Show us razors we didn’t know exist.
Start with A?
Any interest? Or is it a waste of time.
I’d like to see
Something I don’t have.
But want! Haha.
