I can attest to its photogenicity (photogeneity?) πŸ“ΈπŸ™‚

You have more sense than I did when exploring the GEM rabbit hole. I've ended up having a brass gen 1, a brass gen 2 with djudicial engravings, a chromed gen 2 with "HOLD FLAT AGAINST FACE" engraved in the top cap, and I've PIFfed some MMOCs

Oh, I almost went there. Happening upon my gold-plated one reduced my urge for more. And then I "found" straight razor collecting. In that department, I have no sense whatsoever :)

Yeah, same😬

I'm running out of storage space, like for the soaps. But unlike soaps, straight razors don't get used up, so this problem won't solve itself...

I have an inexpensive machinist's chest like this one that I use for my knife collection. I'm looking for something similar to this that I can use for my straights.
