I honestly did not believe it would be so addictive when I started collecting, and now if I see a razor with just the slightest difference to one I have I just have to try to get it -
mad I know - I am really into the history of the safety razor - and spend hours looking up websites where they have already compiled date codes, razor models etc

Hi there,

That's quite a healthy...... quite a healthy hobby you got there. Wow, you are extremely enthusiastic! Not too many members here with that kinda motivation.

Glad you showed up. I think Toots needs another woman to talk female things with. We usually never listen to her, but pretend to be interested. As you know, Limey men are a polite, somewhat overly effeminate bunch.

Anyway, I hope you stick around,

Martin

Around two years collecting, but it is getting worse, I am now veering off towards other makes - I dream of a Darwin deluxe............there is a female collector on another forum who has every Darwin model razor in existence - and a very impressive cabinet of other vintage razors, so I have a lot of work to do to get up to her standard

Welcome. There is (maybe was, now) a Darwin Deluxe on Ebay today - £100.
Do you collect your Gillette birth year / quarter as some of us do?

Thanks for the Welcome - I did see the Darwin deluxe - is is a lovely razor but at the moment I prefer the double edge razors.

Yes I do have a of Birth year / quarter razor, a toggle !

So many welcomes - I sceptically wondered if it was the lads chatting up a lassie, but then I saw the photos of your collection.......... decided it wasn't sexual attraction........ bright shiny things attract magpies LOL

Beautiful collection, thanks for sharing it with us

Welcome! It is nice to see a Lady on the forums. Enjoy your adventure.

Thank you all gentlemen for giving me a very warm welcome!

much appreciated
