I know most of us have a few razors in the rotation but there are a few guys on here who are very serious about collecting. I think it would be nice to see some photos of your collections in one thread.
 
Yeah sunburyboy! I can link to mine but more of an avid user than collector so not many have boxes. Will sort later if anyone interested
 
Well i am off for the next 8 days and i was going to get photo's and info together to make a Blog about my Razors...

Will take some nice photos and post them on here within the next few days....

There are others on here that collect AFAIK "Not The Stig" "Missingskin"
and more....
 
I'm not a collector, honest!

Can kick it off before Steve wows us all with his collection though.

Gillette NEW sets #77 and #88






Rocket Traveller Set



Eclipse Red Ring


 

Good idea. A razor blog. Go for it!

Schick injector (I-type????):
 
Good idea!

I'd class myself as a user\collector as not many of mine have the correct boxes\razor blade holders etc and I put them all on a shelf anyway (as you will see).

Firstly, we have a plethora of Aristocrats.



Then a mix of Rockets, Adjustables, Superspeeds (including a MiLord), a couple of Olds and a Bostonian.



Another mix. Several News, an Edwin Jagger, some Ikons and a Tech.



And finally, a couple of SE's and the vampirish Muhle R41.

Like how you have chosen some non-mainstream ones Pedro. How do they shave? Is the W3 an injector?

I bid on one of those Slim Adjustable lookalikes a few months back.. always wondered what that was like too!

=========================== PART 4 ==========================
Old Type:



Schick Krona:


 


What's doin Paul,

Holy crap! Looks like those various razor monkeys have pretty much had their way with you these last 8-9 months or so. I know a bunch of other members have lots of stuff and your pleasant little collection kinda surprised me. Nice eclectic selection you got there.

Martin

Yeah, the Aristo ape was especially compelling from the looks of things.

The W3 is a normal DE is just the same as the green schick I put the photo up off as well but does not shave as well in my opinion have a few other non-mainstream ones I will try and take pictures off if I can get her out the house long enough to dig out the stash.
Then a load of other non boxed examples of gillettes
