I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of Straight razors everyone has on their collection. And which one(s) see regular action. Here is my small collection, I have two wade and butchers, Boker, one hart not pictured, and one gold Dollar. Right now the Boker has been getting a workout.
Razor collection
- Thread starter Mhonea
- Start date
I have way too many to photograph but most go into rotation at some point, but a good idea to see what members have....
It would be nice to see some reviews from members favorite straights..

I will have to get a pic of all of my razors.
and the rest?
In the mail.
Here is my collection but I am going to be selling some. I'm still trying to find my ideal rotation.
My plan as well.
My rotation is kind of a “Eeeni, meen, miney, moe” sort of thing.
You are poking a bear... I don't know of the crowd here, but I've seen collections which could almost make me stop wanting to collect razors
Anyway, if you can ever get a hand on it, I would suggest Renzo Jardella's book
A family photo would be difficult for you to pull off... You would have to empty your straight razor warehouse first, this would likely take many weeks, if not months??? ;-)
The only problem with it the wife would see them all and go emmmmm mental or whatnot, well lets put it this way she stands at 5 foot nothing and I get out of her way.
So its better to not stir the hornets nest so to speak.....
just starting my collection, only three razors in, but in about 2 months, i should have something really sweet.
All right here we go.
I tried to group them with some Logic. from left to right:
Cheap vintage Solingen and one Pearson ~'20's (These are super cool razors, you could say my favorites)
more expensive Solingen steel (new Puma, the Kama is from Revisor, the Areuka from a flea market)
Heljestrand
My one Japanese (easiest to use, but not the smoothest result) +Kropp (a beauty I think) +weird stainless steel razor
2 Russians (the top one might be my best shaver)
3 Titans, all different steel
2 Kure Nai (one branded as Zertone)
4 gold Dollars

Here is mine. There is at 3 more that are not shown, a Moreley spanish point, Regeldso, and a Torrey double concave w/locking scales. I'm sure if you look in the "what did you use today" posting you will see those in there. I use all of them and cleaned and restored all of them. Right now If u was to add more itwould have to be quite different and one of a kind.

that's a nice collection. Is Wade & Butcher really good or just really cool?
Cool thread!
I recently scaled back a bit and made some changes to get to a place I'm really happy with. Pictures below, but here's the lineup:
Razors: Mappin & Webb 7 day set of wedges; John Weiss 5/8" wedges matched pair in black horn and natural, W&B complimentary pair, 1 FBU bone scale and 1 FGU black horn (original).
Other kit: hammered silver travel set circa 1900 by Percy Whitehouse
