Some pictures to go with my signature
I've always been hesitant to post pictures of my razors because I've shuffled them up a lot. But now, I have a bunch that I don't really see myself getting rid of. So, here is my current rotation, as shown in my signature.

A truly great collection of hefty razors.
You must be a lucky man.
Thanks for showing us.

Cool flower washers on that Revit, and as you know, I love that Savage blade! I expect first shot if you ever sell it since I missed it on BST lol!

Sorry, I'm not taking on any more "projects". That means no scales, restoration, honing, you name it. Look for my custom razors in the future though!

Sorry, Phila, but you'll have to have second shot should I ever lose my mind or find something even better to replace the Savage with. Another member PMed me saying that George is a distant relative, so I told him he could have dibbs.
At risk of sounding collectorish, I'll say that while she's not my favorite shaver, she might be my favorite razor. She's a bit awkward to use, owing to her weight, but she has an insanely sharp edge. One time I was starting a stroke around my sideburns, and the blade pulled a bit. I thought she had caught up on a bunch of head-hair, but in actuality I'd taken off a thin slice of skin. But the blade was so sharp it didn't even bleed.
