    Default No you dont understand....

    Each razor has qualities that make it best for it style or type. What is your favorite kind of meat??? Beef , pork chicken lamb???.... What are the best kind of ribs? Beef?? Pork?? How are they prepared??
    Same rule applies to razors. So many are the best for their class,type size, what do you like best? what gets your face to BBS . Does a forged blade feel better than a stamped one?? Wedge?Half Hollow?Full Hollow?? 5/8,6/8,7/8.....You cant speak on it till you apply your skill set and the best tools to something irriplacable(your face)..
    Then there is soaps and brushes and all those variables.
    Yeah I have the disease. But its better than alcholism or drug addiction, and I swear I am going to thin out my collection....soon.. no I swear...really.

    I think maybe it would have been to avoid a dull razor, or a broken razor at one time. I would think a minimum number of razors to have would be two and that would be to try and avoid these potential issues.
    Nah, we are like magpies who like shiny objects. LOL.

    Don't know if prayers can save you from this. If you've fallen for blades and barrels, wet shaving is next on the list. Clear off some space on your bathroom counter and start looking for a place to hang a strop.

    I always was tempted to collect knives. A friend of mine and I both had a thing for knives. But I had no practical use for anything but my kitchen knives so I couldn't justify a collection. Figuratively speaking, FIGURATIVELY, razors scratch that same itch. I can appreciate and collect blades that I actually have a use for. But from a practical standpoint, there is no real NEED for more than a few razors. But ask yourself how much you NEED most things you buy/own. Do you need all the sport coats you own or could you get away with only one or two? Do you need the sports team shirts or hats you might have? The number of flat screen TVs you may have? You might be into sports, stamp collecting, wine, gardening, art, cycling, camping, or straight razors. But whatever winds your clock, you're probably spending more on it than others might justify or understand. It has little to do with need.

    Yet - I can't not be jealous of you...
    I have at least that many. Maybe more. I love the variety and uniqueness of them all. I still look when I'm at antique stores. Just in case. They each have their own personality when shaving with them.
    I have RAD and proud of it! Lol
