Razors you will never sell?

[Mojo88]

I have been at this for a while and early on I was hit hard by RAD. I spent a considerable amount of time hunting, finding, cleaning, and selling razors. My Rad has subsided and I don't spend near the amount of time that I did in past years looking for razors. With that said I have a few razors in my collection that I will not sell. They are all cased and are close to mint, but I do shave with all of them. Here is my small list in order of my keepers:

Nickel Toggle
Executive
New Improved
President
Fatboy
Hoffritz Slant
Cobra

I still will look for razors, but in many cases I will leave a razor in the wild for another collector. The one razor I hope to find is a bottom adjusting 195 and I just don't see that being found in the near future. Just wondering if the collectors/users like me have a list that they will not sell.

You can have my NEW LC when you pry it from my cold dead hands. I'd also be hard pressed to part with my 40's super speed.

Compared to a majority of the members here, i have a sparse razor den of 13 razors...none of which are rare or in mint condition. The two razors that I will never sell are my Parker 99R and my rhodium-plated, pre-war Gillette fat handle tech because those are gifts from my LotH and there is much sentimental value there.

i guess from the other razors, it would be tough to part from my cased Gillette Executive adjustable but even then it wouldn't be that hard.

Did you mean 61' on the Slim? Otherwise I am confused...

I have a 1921 Old Type plated in Silver from the year my grandfather was born.
I have a 1941 Aristocrat from the year my father was born.
I have several variations of the NEW. There will be one or four that I never get rid of.

Right now that's about it for keepers. I have about 15 razors currently, some modern, some vintage. I am narrowing in on what I like and what I think will work for me moving forward. I will always have a handful of keepers, but I am not a collector. I want to be able to use what I have. Now, I may change my mind about that in the future, but I really think I am past my collecting phases.

Unlike my guitar collecting phase, at least I have sufficient ability to use my razors somewhat expertly.

My Merkur long handled classic that was given to me will never be sold. My Son gave it to me for Father's day. It was my first DE razor.

Also, I will never part with my 1959 Fat Boy or my 1953 Super Speed.

I love that black chrome razor. I love it.

I love that black chrome razor. I love it.

I might have a worthy contender for it incoming next week; different category though...

I only have 4 razors and really wouldn't want to sell my birth year/quarter Fatboy or my Gillette Slim. The vintage adjustables seem to be my thing. I guess I'd sell either of them if I could find a better examples of either. I'd be perfectly happy if they were the only 2 razors I owned. (I'm not part of the RAD club and have a hard time understanding it. I'm already thinking of selling my 4th razor.)

 

[deafficianado]

I tend to have a backup for the ones I really like. So for that reason I would sell any of the razors I have for the right price.

 

[Shutterbug57]

1934 Aristocrat
1937 Sheraton - restored
1938 Senator - restored
NEW SC with common bar handle - restored
Ever-Ready 1912

if I had to pare it down to 1, it would be the 'Crat.

 

[Heespharm]

My birth year razor , my mergress, and all my lather catchers... The rest can be found easily if you have the money

 

[hawgsquatch]

I only have three razors and at the end I want to have seven total for a full week's rotation. I do not really intend to get anything that I would sell. No sons only daughters, so maybe my razors will be someone's yard sale find of the next century/

 

[Kerrplunk]

My 1962 slim (birth year) I'll pass it on to a grandson
My black beauty (wife's g-pa's) a grandson

 

[Joe_Karp]

I have no kids, someone's going to be lucky.

Mergress, long and short
G1 Fatboy
K1 Slim
Y3 40's SS, (my BD razor)
34C and 37C HD models

With these I need nothing else, thanks.

My Feather AS-D2 is my primary razor. Nothing comes close to matching it for my face.

My Slim Adjustable is my travel razor. It does a great job on my face. Clean and comfortable every time...

My Gold Slim Adjustable was my first Slim. I switch to it for a change of pace several times a year.

These have been and will continue to be my keepers.
