I had a nice collection of 24 straights a about 3 years ago and I was shaving with a straight everyday. Then I got more into my senses so sold half of them but still had a nice collection of TI's, Filly, Dovo. I then got into the watch collection and sold all but two but now I kind of regret selling all my Filarmonica's because they were absolutely NOS and never used, and I actually had 3 of those and only used 1, and another minty condition one that I picked up on B&B for $200. I also had a doble temple #14 that I got for $200. At one time I had 4 almost new Doble Temple's and the carton the razors come in (holds six razors) which I sold when I sold two of the DT#13's.
I also miss a couple of my TI's as it seems "Le Canadien" branding is not so easily available now that rasage poulin has shut down. The "Spartacus" brand also doesn't have the gold wash as before.
Even Dovo's are harder to find. I sold them first because I figure they would be easier to replace once I decided to get back into straights. But the online vendors are almost completely sold out of Dovo's at the moment. Since I no longer have my hones I'd only want a shave ready one too.
Anyway, probably won't go as crazy into collecting again, and since I don't shave with straights everyday anymore I am not willing to shell out the big bucks for those Filarmonica Doble Temple's when they are advertised as NOS and clearly they have been used!
I am thinking of getting a Prima Klang again. The first one I had was nice, but it was far from my favorite razor. Now that my technique is much better I think I'll enjoy it more.
