Collecting straight razors is a relatively new type of investing and is rewarding in several ways. Collecting straight razors at this time is a rare opportunity to get into a "Budding" hobby or business, since there are no completely reliable books on prices, valuable straight razors can be found in many places and sometimes for a bargain. It is very possible to find a straight razor that is worth hundreds of dollars for less than $10. Collecting straight razors is very enjoyable because of the different types of straight razors. The celluloid handles on a straight razor can be very beautiful or unusual. Sterling silver handles on a straight razor is now getting so hard to find that most collectors won't sell the straight razors at all.

I hope you enjoy straight razor collecting as much as I do. Thank you, John West, Kentucky, USA
