Hello again......................

[Mr.K]

Sorry about all the questions but once I get straight I think I'll be a better contributor.

I am an avid wristwatch collector. Due to my daughters upcoming wedding I am out of watch money for a while. Wet shaving has provide a pleasent distraction for me at this time. That said, I am seeing similarities with my behavior and approach to the hobby. In the watch world there are pieces know as "vault queens". These are pieces that are bought and never worn. Value and rarity play a large role in this practice. Do any of you have razors that are bought and never used? I find myself buying razors that I like and then seeking the same razor in NOS or mint condition that I will put away. Anyone else prone to this behavior?

Thanks,
Evan

Evan I am sure that there is a "vault queen" behavior with Razor collecting.

I know for myself (I only have a few) Razors that are NOS with packaging etc. I tend not to use really (with the exception of a couple of Str8's).

Congrats on your daughters wedding.

Whats the watch collection like?

[Mr.K]

Thanks for the congratulations and your reply. Just wondering if my behavior transcended hobbies. The watch collecting has been going on for 35 years and has it's main focus on Patek and Rolex.
Best regards,
Evan

It really depends on a person's personality - there are definitely guys who are collectors and look for NOS razors, razors with packaging/papers - they will never use these razors - just for looking.
