    Don't have any pics as yet, but will try to get one together. For now here is a list of what I have stashed away:

    1/5 tube of Florena
    Lervia
    Godrej
    Tom's of Main - can't recall which one
    Spieck

    Have had in the past:

    Kiss My Face Lavender
    Kent

    Got my eyes on a lot more although I am trying to run things down a bit before I write another order.

    This is funny (and a bit scary!) - to think that some of us got into straight razors because it looked like a good way to save money...

    As long as you use all that stuff and enjoy it!

    I got into it partly becuase its extreemly rare for razors not to become fmaily herilooms. Have you ever heard of someone proudly holding up a Trac II saying its from my pop.

    Yep - I have that sort of thing too. I've got 2 of my great grandfather's razors that were sitting in Dad's garage for the last 30 years. (I'm using one, but the other has a crack - so might not be repairable... but we'll see).

    All the best,
    Michael.

    That's an impressive collection. But I think you have other problems aside from your shaving cream AD-- I'm talking about the way you've meticulously created a second collection which just about perfectly matches the first... only in reverse? Now *that* seems a bit odd...

    I got those at Wal-Mart in the kitchen appliance department. I think they were called sugar bowls at about $3. Not sure if you have a Wal-Mart or not where you are at.

    My recommendation Michael is to send, the straight with the crack, off to Lynn Abrams for $2 plus shipping he will tell you if its reparable or if you should simply put it in a display cabinet. I think its worth a little bit to see if the master of straight razors can get it to shaving quality.

    Ah yes BJ just as I remember it:-) I don't think any of us could match that collection!
