Daily Razors

[churchilllafemme]

On another forum, a thread was started asking for photos of the razors that folks use regularly. I thought that was a good idea, so I am doing it here, not as a competition, but just sharing. After much experimentation, I have a pretty stable razor collection now with which I am happy. It consists of Carbon Mokume-gane, Carbon Damascus, LASSC BBS-1, Paradigm 71-4, Paradigm 2020 Diamondback, Wolfman copper W2, and Wolfman antique bronze WR2, along with UFO Titan Fine and Common Bar handles. I mix and match the solitary handles with the various razor heads in a regular rotation.

And when not being used, the handles are kept on a display rack and the heads in a drawer.

If I did that, I’d lose track of which handle went to which razor head.

Yes, I had to memorize the design of each head and handle. And then I wrote them down on a list as a backup to my memory.

I use the little stringed price tags.
I really like the handle rack. I have my individual handles in a zippered pocket knife holder that has the elastic holders inside.

It's been in my mind to select a core group of razors but the one I use most often is a Merkur 34C. That is usually my Sunday razor because I'm a church usher and I don't want any drama on my face or neck.

Thank you. Some five, six or seven years ago I purchased the whole DE razor off Amazon for $10 USD. The head was junk and I threw it away but this handle was very worth keeping. I don't have scales to weigh it but it has a nice heft without being too heavy. It's 100mm length and the grip is good and comfortable due to light criss-cross lines. I would buy again (and throw the head away again).I just looked for it on USA Amazon and couldn't find it anymore.
