Nice collection! The Heljestrands are favorites too. That 24 is just brilliant for travelling and allows relatively fast shaves, as it is so nimble. For loose pin, try the soup spoon trick: Put a soup spoon on a table or a cutting board, with the convex side up. It will be your anvil. Use a second soup spoon as a hammer, hitting the pin's head with the convex side. Gently tap the pin about 5-10 times, then flip the razor and give 5-10 more taps. Try to tap while drawing a circle around the pin. Check the tightness. Rinse and repeat. As the force is very low, it is very controllable, and it is nearly impossible to hit the scales or bend the pins, but it is a surprisingly quick process.
Beautiful collection! I’m actually a blacksmith/knife maker so I’m pretty savvy with metallurgy/sharpening, but I’m completely new to the straight razor world. In your professional opinion what would be a great high quality one to dip my toes in? I’ll basically be just using it to edge my beard so fairly light duty. I’d love to have one that lasts a lifetime 😊
I have one that would have been on this list, but it will be on its way to Sweden soon. I just need to finish this frameback up that is taking more work than I thought to take the chip out of edge. Then they will both be off
You don’t hone your own razors? I’ve been only using traditional straights for about 8 months and after the first couple weeks I had to get me some stones and practice on some gold dollars, after I got my first one from Anthony Esposito. I had years of experience with Shavettes so making the switch to traditional wasn’t so bad. Nice collection man I like vintage as well. I only have 2 as of this moment. The Dubl Duck 🦆 🦆 special No. 1 and a J.A Henckel “Twin”
I want to display my razor collection like you did yours but I can’t figure out a way to mount it to the board. I don’t want to put something on it that will damage the material over time. How was yours done? I’m assuming you’re using a hanging display case?
I’ve heard your name Thrown around the wet shaven community for many years and this is my first time watching one of your videos. Gotta say you don’t look like a barbarian 🤓
Really nice set of razors there Marion. I have also ordered a DD. Can't wait if I am honest. Once I have recieved it my next purchase will probably be a Koraat👍
@@marionthebarbarian886 Thank you for answering. Set the pin? Yeah i looked everywhere and can’t find the washer. I’m not even sure when it fell out. My straight razor is a Boker Edelweiss and the ring that is missing is on the back side of the middle pin. there are 3 handle pins but i wonder if i could send it to be fixed by someone and if they would be able to make it match the look of the other ones.
@brodyberry6253 there are people who would accommodate. Razor Emporium possibly. Max Sprecher maybe John's Shave Shop on Etsy might. Try Razor Emporium first
Very nice razors. Each one is a work of art in itself.
Thank you

I have a 1.5 oz ball peen hammer I use. I think my Aust was the issue in this video. I could never get to tighten. I think pin was cut too long

We can chat. I can help you out with super cheap if you want. Just hit me up
rasier means shave, and messer means knife, Marion.
Nice collection, Sir!
I like the case too.
Thank you
There’s nothing that beats nice spine work! 🤩
I agree. It makes a razor sexy
That is a great bunch of razors you have there mate!
Btw, messer is german knife.
Have a great weekend.🙂👍
I have one that would have been on this list, but it will be on its way to Sweden soon. I just need to finish this frameback up that is taking more work than I thought to take the chip out of edge. Then they will both be off
And thank you for informing me on the German. Always nice to know what you are trying to say
...german for knife...
Razors that have unique spine work like that, do they interfere once they’re on the stone?
Nice collection
Thanks
It has changed since then.
I felt the need to downsize. I may not even own 10 anymore. Lol
do you need a charnley forest hone?
like new…about 200x50x25

Still trying to learn to hone. Just don't like my edge
Totally awesome collection!!!
Thank you
A beautiful collection of razor's Marion. I hope that you are well. Have a great weekend with your kids.
Very best regards Gordon.👍👌
Thanks Gordon. We had fun

It's not a display. It's a felt lined shelf in my cedar chest
Beautiful collection great video. Big Dude Marion the Barbarian

There is just something special about the look of a frame-back.
I think so as well
Marion!! Wow!! Those are some badazz SR!! Wow!! Have a great weekend my brother!!
Thanks Mel. You have a great one as well
That’s a mighty fine set of razors there my friend!
Thank you. I've been going through my razors. Time to get rid of a bunch
@@marionthebarbarian886 you’re welcome! And I hear you on that. They have a tendency to add up.
Im not a straight razor guy but I do like your straights. Oh, I subbed for you. I'm new to your channel
Thank you
Happy kiddy weekend, Marioin. You all three have a great time🥳🥳🥳
We should. Son already fell and blacked his eye. 🤦♂️
I've never seen anyone so rough and tumble
@@marionthebarbarian886 that's how you know he's really excited. Bless him!
super collection !!
Awesome stuff.
🤩🤩🤩
You rock my friend.
Have a awesome weekend with your kids and take care my friend.
🤘😃🤘
Thank you. That is the plan for sure
Are you still using straight razors today?
Yes
Great collection Marion!
Thank you
I absolutely HATE LOOSY GOOSEY PINS! It makes stropping a nightmare.
Hello , I love all razors and wondered how do I get into the razor community you were involved in or I can buy and trade razors
There are Facebook groups out there. One of my latest videos has a Wacker Chevalier for sale at good price
Nice razors there.
Thank you
Really nice set of razors there Marion. I have also ordered a DD. Can't wait if I am honest. Once I have recieved it my next purchase will probably be a Koraat👍
Sounds pretty awesome. Can't wait to get my Drew Dick as well
Nice top 10 Marion, would shave with any of those. Thought I would see a W & B.
I have sold every Wade & Butcher I've gotten my hands on. I have plenty of Sheffield steel, but no W&B
Really nice razors you have there. I can see why they won’t leave your den.
Thank you JT
One of my washers came off some how on my straight razor what do i do?
If you can get the washer back on the pin, you would use a 2 oz ball peen hammer. Round side to set the peen

@@marionthebarbarian886 Ok i will thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
@@brodyberry6253 no worries. Good luck
Beautiful number 31
I think so. Was worth it imo
The Japanese Mordor is also beautiful
Yeah it is
Nice razors you have Marion
Thank you
