This collection of razors ,i was given by a lady who's husband was an officer in the Indian army ,the gentleman in question had 8 razors all together which i was kindly given .
The reason for so many razors was that he used a different razor each day of the week and a spare one just in case.
Of course one never shaved himself ,one had a man servant to do such tasks .
