Hi all,
I've been wet shaving for about 2 years now, and taken a few turns down the rabbit hole.
I started with a Merkur 34c, Omega Pro 49, and a tub of Cella.
I now restore and hone vintage straight razors for a hobby, and occasionally modify a GD. I'm working on gathering a small collection of custom straight razors for personal use, and have a few DE razors that I use on occasions.

Some of my current favourites.

Welcome to the insanity.
Nice collection btw.
Hope your stay is long and fruitful.

@filobiblic that straigh 2nd left with white handle is the one I mentioned earlier that is on sale with the Rooney brushes :)
Nice, isn't it ? :)
 
Hello to you and welcome to the group!

Thats a nice collection of straight razors that you have got there.
 
Hi @HereForTheEdge and welcome. That is a great collection you have. Having spent so many years visiting my grandparents in Wangarratta you live in a great part of the world.
 
Welcome!!!

It's about to double :)
I have a Filarmonica 14 and another Dubl Duck on the way, I also have a Custom from ShaveSmith and another from TheScottishRazorCo that should be arriving in the next few weeks. Looking forward to sharing some restoration pictures of the Dubl Duck, and some reviews of the others :)

Welcome mate! Always great to welcome a str8 shooter and to ogle their collection. Just makes us all envious...

I'm keen for a Filarmonica, but would go for the famously coloured scales along with a fine Spanish blade.

Have you seen the locally Aussie made razors by djrazors.com?

With all the beautiful wood we have here you'd expect some darn fine scales around...

I haven't checked out djrazors.com yet I will add it to my list though. I have been eyeing off a boxer razor though, another Aussie maker.

These are my favourite wood scales I have made so far coolabah burl
