Thread: how many razors do you use regularly?

I own 31 straight razors, but find myself no longer comfortable using any of the full-hollow grinds; this leaves me with twenty that are half- or quarter-hollow, or near-wedge, and, of these, I probably use ten of them with any consistency.

I sold ten of my "top" razors this past year, and really ought to sell my remaining full-hollow grinds; this is after seven years as a straight-razor shaver on a regular basis. It's not so easy, arriving at a conscious awareness of what one prefers, even if deeper-down we know what's-what; anyway, it hasn't been, for me. Although I caution beginners to not buy so quickly, I recognize and admit that it's easier to say, than do.

Smooth shaving!

I've got 5 i rotate through. I might skip or repeat one as the mood strikes me, and I do have 2 DEs I pull out once in a while, on a much much lower frequency

The poll only goes to 8? This must be some sort of mistake.

two,1str8 and 1de (puma gold and mercur 34c)

Takes me about a month to go through my rotation and longer if I throw in some DEs and SEs just for variety.

Right now I have 4 that I rotate through. I have 2 others that I'm restoring. I don't plan on buying any others. I do have 1 DE that I use if I'm in a hurry.

I am a poor man, and only have 2 and a shavette. I'm newbie and get some razor burns with the SR so I rotate also with the Shavette to reduce the razor burn two or three days a week.

I am not sure how many I have but there are 8 that I use most of the time and I use them in no order I chose the one that speaks to me when it's time to shave. Most of the time it is a Mistro Livi, Hart Steel or one of my Zowdas. But my Dovo's are feeling left out so maybe I will use one of them tonight

I keep my shave ready blades in a knife roll that holds 38 str8s I set them all facing the me in the standard front side, as I use them and put them back I flip them over, no real order to use but make sure it has not been used, when complete flip all back & stars again,
But then I have a couple in silicon sleeves in the draw, that sometimes get precedence, weather they fit in the rotation or not but I am just feeling them, like my Bruno blade and my inherited GAMERX
