What Happens When I Die?

Excellent Question, VERY happy someone finally asked!

1 of two scenarios happen:

Scenario 1:



…and Scenario 2:

Well here is my 2cents
Thin the heard now while you are with us, and what's leftover can be given to family members as something to remember you by.
Just a thought.

That's pretty sensible.

Yes, the suggestion from Vostegun is quite sensible. However, I am afraid that when it comes to shaving, all sense goes out the window.

I heartily commend the OP for raising a very important question that can profoundly affect those we love who remain after our death. This hobby is for those who are passionate about wet shaving, which is and will likely remain a distinct minority of the population. For true enthusiasts, such as many of the fine people that frequent these forums, this hobby can and often does result in the acquisition of literally thousands of dollars in shaving equipment. Boutique razors can go for upwards of $500 apiece, and highly sought after items may be worth even more. For those who loved us, and supported our passionate pursuit of our interests during our lifetimes, it can be very daunting and emotionally burdensome to deal with this “stuff” after we’re gone. Also, we have an obligation to help them deal with our remains, and that includes our earthly possessions. One of the most considerate things we wet shavers can do for our loved ones is set things up for the certainty of our own deaths. It’s coming, and might be sooner than we expect. I highly support careful record keeping so survivors don’t have to guess at values, and clear instructions if you have any specific wishes. This is vitally important and will be so deeply appreciated by our loved ones that it’s hard to put into words. Create a spreadsheet within the next month. Set a weekly deadline for your inventorying, so you make steady progress. You will be surprised at what a relief it is!

And clearly communicate to your executor while living that these spreadsheets exist, better yet regularly updating them on a thumb drive kept with the will

You Gents make a very good point….

Without further delay, I’m going to start my “living will” right here in this thread…

DanLaw I’m leaving you this fine razor and wonderful soaps



Dave in KY, you get the next of my fine possessions…..tbc

Dan’s a great sport and honestly, I want his gear before my own! I may be deaf, but I’m certainly not blind, I see the SOTD’s; Some of you Gents have extensive collections both modern and vintage

My son inherits it all unless my daughter meets/marries a guy who’s as into wet shaving as my son in which case they’ll share it.  Do you think our beards continue growing in heaven? Shaving with the best for eternity?

Good point…I now think I’d like my Polished Head Weber and CG Brass DC to accompany me on my eternal slumber party.  Will original PolSilvers from the Łódź plant be available?
