    I would like to know how many razors you use with any regularity.

    I rotate rotations, so your count needs to go maybe an order of magnitude higher than 8.

    I need about 2.
    That will keep me with a freshly honed edge at all times.
    What I use though is a slightly higher number, not represented in your multiple choice poll..

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    Well, I'm not quite sure.
    You see, to some of us around here this is a bit more than just removal of facial hair
    It has been a hobby of mine for a few years now, and that has influenced the number of razors quite considerably.

    If I should venture a guess at a number, somewhere between 300 and 350.
    Or thereabouts.

    I only shave once a week at the moment. I also seem to be buying a razor a week at the moment so I'm constantly changing to the latest to try it out. My rotation? I'll tell you when I stop buying more razors.

    Is the vote for per week?
    As I have over 20 in current rotation fully shave ready (and happy to shave with)
    Not counting a similar number not quite right (like a bit harsh on the face ) and more WIP's in the shed and the mail
    Saved,
    to shave another day.

    I'm limiting myself to 21 razors for routine use. I tried 14 but couldn't abide it. I also have an additional stowage of razors separate from my 21 that must be older than ~200 years to qualify for this special grouping. But I shave with all of these too.

    I follow a complicated algorithm...

    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
