It's more of museum of shaving items
I skimmed through it. Pretty neat! I wonder if he is a member here?
I've got that same Gillette display case I'm cleaning up. I just got a new lid and unbroken glass for it.

Very nice case toothpick good look with the restore
A true definition of "shave porn". Especially the music on the soundtrack...I kid, I kid!
Some interesting stuff in his three cabinets. But what really blew me away were the Injector cans, which he said were mail-out samples to households. I remember one of those cans coming to the house back when I was a kid in the 60's. I wonder if Dad ever used it?

Yes his razors and blades are like a museum.
I'll have to ask my dad about those cans.

Brother Rockero,
What are your store hours? And do you give senior discounts?
Suggestions: I'd love to hear briefly about you favorite 10 razors, and also about your shaving techniques.

I have met my limit. I love shaving den photos; I am not man enough for a 24-minute shaving den video with cheesy music. I look at my 2-razor, 2-brush, mug, bowl, 50 blade, 15 cream and soap, 2 aftershave, 1 cologne shaving den, and I feel quite pleased. I don't have to get more. I will, probably, but I don't have to.

Yea some people just over do it.
I'm new to de shaving. I have about 6 different soaps (mostly because I didn't like the first couple of soaps) 4 different shave balms, one brush and one razor. I do see getting another razor or two, maybe a couple more soaps to try out. But I have to admit, I just don't get that kind of behavior. How could anyone have that much shaving stuff. I'm sorry if I am offending anyone, but that video is a disease. We joke about this being an addiction, but I now can see, it can be serious problem. Maybe this will be me in the future, but I sure hope not. Again, please I hope I am not offending anyone. It is just very strange to me.
Yeah, I see your point. But collecting is a weird thing. As I said, I found the video (and the collection) waaaay too much, but I can also understand the heavy collecting vibe. There are some people who are obsessive completists.
What would the shave den guy think about my 600-book collection of volumes just on Roman church art and architecture?

Do you really have a 600 book collection? I think that's cool.
What about Roman Catholic Churches ?
Rome is by far my favorite city. I love guidebooks, and there isn't a good guidebook in English on just the Churches of Rome. So. About ten years ago, I started to collect material. Now I have, like I said, 600+ books on the art and architecture of Roman churches. It's a huge but finite subject, and it will keep me busy for years. Bliss.
The churches have so much fabulous art in them - paintings, frescoes, mosaics, sculpture - and often the architecture itself is just stunning. Once I saw Borromini and Caravaggio in person, in churches, there was no going back.

What are the chances you'd be willing to pass on what you paid for such a box... I have a lead on the same one here locally and am wondering what a good deal would be?
That is one helluva collection!!
Cheers for the link.

Yes I'm with you on the beauty and art in churches. My parents went to Rome and were super amazed by all the paintings and art there. In addition, they have traveled to several other countries where the church architecture is phenomenal as well as the art on the walls as well as the amount of gold in the churches.
So long as it does not interfere with your life, there is nothing wrong with collecting. We are probably all addicted to something to some degree. Me it is old woodworking hand tools, I have thousands of them, my video would rival this shave video. I can feel it a little in the shaving stuff now, I am asking for vintage shaving at garage sales, have found one nice straight razor. I will never get into it that heavy but would be kind of nice to have a small cabinet full of nice vintage stuff plus the user soaps and aftershaves and such. Whenever I get into something I always try to learn about it and then look for bargains at garage sales. It's a sport. I don't watch sports on tv or anything, I go garage saling. Wintertime I clean up my finds.
I've seen them on the bay from $30 all the way to $200. The $30 was beat up and crusty, the $200 was pretty much NOS. Now that's what they were selling for, not what they SOLD for.
How badly you want it will dictate how much you pay.
I paid 30 for mine, with broken lid. I spent another 25 on an unbroken lid.
